Game 06 Takeaways – Utah Jazz @ Dallas Mavericks
Deep Jazz bench steps up on second night of road trip back-to-back.
The Utah Jazz visited Dallas for their second road game in as many nights Sunday to face off against the Mavericks and rookie Luka Doncic.
This was the first game for the Utah Jazz since beating the New Orleans Pelicans in Louisiana Saturday night.
Utah started the game well, but watched Dallas come back to take and even retain the lead for a time late in the second half.
The Utah Jazz were able to get good contributions from some players sitting pretty far down the bench, including career nights for Georges Niang and Rookie Grayson Allen.
Dallas’ comeback would eventually fall short, however. Utah leaves Dallas with the W, 113-104. Jazz move to 4-2 on the season.

Quick Notes
#1 | How much wood DUNKS would a woodchuck chuck GOBERT DUNK if a woodchuck could chuck wood NO ONE CAN STOP GOBERT FROM DUNKING?
Remember when we used to say things like “YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT ISH, RUDY!!” all the time when we watched Jazz games?
If the past two games are any indication, that may be a thing of the past.
I will say that while Rudy may not have had such an easy time dunking against DeAndre Jordan in Dallas.
BUT… he made up for it with that soft touch (and french yell) rarely in a player Rudy’s size:
“Throw it down, big man.”
Bill Walton
#2 | No Derrick, No Problem (For Now)
Not a lot to say here. Just nice to see the Jazz replace the production of such a key piece of the team, who’s out with injury.
A lot of that production was made up by….
#3 | Georges Making Most of Minutes Left Behind by Jerebko
After Jonas Jerebko and the Utah Jazz parted ways in the offseason, it became clear Georges Niang would be the closest thing to a direct player replacement in that role this season.
Going into the year, I was curious to see if Niang would actually play as much as Jerebko did last year for Utah. He had just signed his contract recently, and was just a small amount of time out of the G(D) League.
I know it’s still early in the year, but it seems like I’m seeing quite a bit of playing time from Niang. Not that I should be surprised, considering his contribution in the time he’s played this year.
Career night for Niang, who finished with 13 points in 13 minutes.
Helping Niang fill the void left by Derrick Favors was…
#4 | Grayson w/ the Gem
Grayson saw some extended time in this one. Based on the results, he may see more in the near future…
It’s like watching a middle-reliever come in to strike out the side w/ 12 pitches.
#5 | DONNY DUNKO RETURNS
Glad to have him back.
