The Utah Jazz has surely become a team that has caught each and every one’s attention with their recent form. Having won gathered a winning streak of 11 games, the Jazz are sitting on top of the Western Conference Table leaving past both the Los Angeles sides. However, talking about Utah’s most recent win against the Dallas Mavericks, the latter’s marquee player and predicted ‘MVP’ Luka Doncic had just one word to describe the Dallas Mavericks’ performance against Jazz, ‘Terrible.’ 

Much to Jazz, the Mavs are facing an ironical form. They have lost 7 out of their 9 games and their recent loss shows the kind of thumping they have been getting over the past few weeks. The Jazz were without their marquee player Donovan Mitchell in both their games against the Mavericks. But yet they were able to outplay Luka Doncic led Dallas Mavericks with ease.

“I never felt like this,” said Doncic, who won championships with Real Madrid and the Slovenian national team before beginning his NBA career. “We’ve got to do something, because this is not looking good. We’ve got to step up and just talk to each other and play way better than this. It’s mostly effort.” 

Doncic, a preseason MVP favorite who is averaging 27.3 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game, criticized the Mavs’ effort after both losses against the Jazz. 

“I would say right now it’s looking like we don’t care, honestly, if we win games or not,” Doncic said. “We just [need] more energy, more effort, dive for every ball, box out, everything. There’s a lot of things we could improve, and I know we will. I know we will, and that’s all that matters.” 

The Jazz, who have the NBA’s best record at 15-4, have an average margin of victory of 15.6 points during their 11-game winning streak, the longest in the league this season. Utah has trailed in the fourth quarter for a total of only 57 seconds during the 11-game run.
