The Utah Jazz who have been having trouble picking up wins on the road, got blown out once again against the Dallas Mavericks.  The Jazz played very sloppy on offense and on defense they were slow to react.  The Mavericks really took it to them especially in the third quarter when Dirk went off scoring 19 points by himself.  Utah and Dallas are now tied for 7th place in the West, with both of them having 4 games left on the roster.  The final score of this game was 130-101.

The leading scorers for Dallas were Dirk Nowitzki with 31 points, Jason Terry with 21 points and Jose (JJ) Barea with 18 points.  The team as a whole shot an incredible 54% from the field and an outstanding 45% from downtown.  With this win, the Mavericks clinch a Playoff spot and send the Phoenix Suns home for the summer.
