The Dallas Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz 114-101 

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz 114-101 Monday night in Salt Lake City. Anthony Davis led Dallas with 25 points, while Brice Sensabaugh paced Utah with 16. Dallas improved to 2-1 in the preseason ahead of a neutral-site clash with the Lakers in Las Vegas on Wednesday. With D’Angelo Russell sidelined, rookie Cooper Flagg started at point guard, giving the Mavericks a youthful spark.

Davis helped Dallas build a small lead, but fouls kept Utah in the game, with the first quarter ending 30-27. Flagg pushed the pace early in the second, hitting a three, though Dallas cooled off as the quarter went on, letting Utah take a brief lead. Naji Marshall scored nine of the next 11 points to reclaim control, and Dallas finished the half strong, leading 61-53.
