Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee) soars, rare victory for Philadelphia

The series: and three for Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks, finalists of the Championship last season, won their third consecutive victory on Saturday, winning against the Utah Jazz (106-94). The Texans, who were playing without Luka Doncic, injured in a wrist, got off to a great start (40-22, 12th). The Salt City franchise, however, managed to catch up (87-82, 40th). Dallas went on the attack again at the end of the match to leave their opponent behind. Kyrie Irving (30 points) and Quentin Grimes (24 pts) were the strong men of the Mavericks. Lauri Markkanen was the most effective for Jazz with 19 points, but a pale 7/20 in shooting. Utah remains penultimate in the Western Conference with seven defeats in its last eight matches.
