Dallas Mavericks vs Utah Jazz Full Game Highlights 1st Qtr | Dec 15 | 2025 NBA Highlights

scoring. Dallas has eight players that average in double figures. And there are other individuals who may not average 10 plus, but are certainly capable of scoring that or more on any given nights. And this is Ace Bailey pulling up and missing and then jamming home his own miss. Shooters tend to know when the miss shots are coming from. Followed that up real nice. Yes, he did. Now it’s Coupe and another rookie. Two of the top five picks in the draft. Change exchange baskets that is to start the game. Ace Bailey with the vicious putback and then Coupe in the paint. Now it’s Kyle Filipowski and an early foul. Now to a phenomenal start. Coupe coming off a 22-point game as we discussed off the top. His ninth game of 20 plus points this year. His third characterized in the Jazz injury report as a rest night for Yousef Nerkach. Pair of free throws made there by Philipski who’s at 72% this year. Pick and roll involving Coupe and Daniel Gaffford. And Gaffford goes strong and Bryce sets the ball in the paint and scores. Good recognition on the smaller defender. Getting gaff the ball in the paint is always a good idea and able to power up with a nice finish. And misses short from below the free throw line. Gaffford just scored. He’s averaging nine points a game and he helped plow the run for Cooper Flag who takes it right to the cup again. It was a really good attack first quarter the other night against Brooklyn and we’re seeing signs of that early on. Mark it in force Bailey and a corner three is good. It’s a team that runs a lot of screen away actions and like I talked about before, there’s going to be a lot of switching going on. You saw that collapse there and open it up for the three-point marketing shot. And then Ryan Nhard, it didn’t make a field goal attempt in Friday’s game, is on the board with his first made shot tonight. Dallas in front by one. Markin against Marshall. And a foul and a main foot frame is tough to deal with with the high release point. Three-point play for Markin. Already six 20% of his home average, which is 30 points per game as we set off the top fourth best in the league. A lot of scoring in the first two minutes of the game. Jazz up 108 on the perimeter against Keonte George. It’s a drive and as Coupe was rising up, he made the decision to pass it as he drew the foul. Yeah, he he’ll learn to to get a shooting motion on that foul, but you know, trying to make the right play and the team foul on Utah is their first of the game. And the first foul in tonight’s action on Kyle Vilipowski of Duke like Cooper flag and it’s an attack inside by PJ Washington just relentlessly forcing that defense deep down into the paint. They couldn’t keep him out of there. Dallas has opened the game with five makes five shots. There’s Bryce Sens good outside shooter taking it inside. Another screenway action. Just curls right in there to the middle of the defense. Now Coupe against Ace Bailey. Black picked him to dribble in the lane. Going to go outside to Nhard. Coupe screens. He’s got a chance at a pick and pop jumper. He’ll let her fly. Long rebound. Markin has it. Keonte George 39 points. A careerhigh Friday as Utah won in Memphis by four points. Memphis had a late comeback to tie it, but then Utah pulled away in the last minutes. And George off the bounce rises and hits. He’s gotten a lot better just to becoming a point guard reading the game. I was talking to Jack before the game and just, you know, worked on his body, but more so his decision making. Nhard in the lane, kicks it outside. Corner three. Marshall no good. And when Deon says he’s talking to Jet, Jason Terry’s an assistant coach on the Jazz staff. Maverick champion Jason Terry down goes George foul on Nim tonight for Anthony Davis he’s not playing Brandon Williams was a scratch from the lineup as well you see him in street close next to Anthony Davis Williams has right Achilles sort catch block PJ Washington denied ball out of bounds off Utah by Neard. Flag on the baseline. PJ on the bounce against Keonte George. Euro step in the paint, draws a foul. Some ISO stuff from that from that point as well from him. And typically when he’s got a smaller defender, he he’s going to score. Four rebounds on Friday night in the win against the Brooklyn Nets. Dallas won that game 119 111. had a nine to one run to close the game after Michael Porter Jr. tied it at 110 with 310 remaining in the game. Mentioned Utah won by four on Friday night against Memphis. Utah six and seven on their home floor this year. They’ve got a couple of nice wins against Phoenix and Houston that highlight those six wins they have on their home floor. got a foul here on PJ that his three-point rate is going down in terms of percentage of shots he’s taking that are threes and his percentage of shots within 10 ft of the basket is going up and when we were talking with Will Hardy about that before the game as Coop scores out of a timeout for Dallas he said you know obviously we’ve encouraged him to do things but we want players to have ownership in the things that they work on to improve their game we just don’t want to say this is what you’ve got to do we want them to embrace So they’ll do the work and attack it as that’s an attack by Philipki cutting off the ball to score. He’s also get to the free throw line a lot more as well and 91% on free throws when he goes to the line. Coopowski with baskets for their respective teams out of the timeout. Turnaround jump shot missed by Coupe and it’s Isaiah Collier with the rebound. Collier averages seven points, five assists a game. And there’s two points on the scoreboard for Isaiah Collier tonight. Yeah, man’s got to get it going defensively. Utah scoring way too easy. They started out the game nine of 11 from the floor. Work it down low. Turnaround shot on the baseline. Bounces in off the heel of the rim for PJ Washington. Now here’s a long pass by Philipki looking for Collier cutting off the ball. Some of the mistakes, but they also get a ton of assists as well. Matter of fact, they’re number two in the league in assists. Almost 30 per game. They do move the ball very, very well. Nimhard beat feeds it to Coupe. Mashed up against Isaiah Collier outside. Nimhard drills a three. Made his first two shots tonight after 0 for five the other night. Making that a distant memory. As a young player, you have to have a short memory. Can’t let the bad games bog you down. Cannot be deterred by negative things within a game or from game to game. Your longtime former Mavericks head coach said that with frequency. Nimhard again. Yes, sir. You love to see it. Ryan Nimhard has come out and let Ryan Nimhard cook. He’s already got three made baskets on three shots from the floor and 60% from the arc. A foul has put Keonte George on the free throw line and his next point will give him a 10-point first quarter. Here comes Jaden Hardy in Brandon Miss due to illness. George now has 10. So Hardy will get some run off the bench and Naji Marshall of course can initiate the offense. So can Coupe got a lot of guys on the floor who can handle the point guard role. Driving and a step back shot from the foul line. Max Christie first basket tonight for Max. Markin in the lane against Dwight Powell. Difficult shots going after it. Cooper flag and out of bounds on the shot clock for the Jazz. Kyle Anderson is in. He has not played just a ton this year. The veteran from UCLA and he just committed an offensive foul. Christiey’s down by the way after that offensive foul on Kyle Anderson who’s appearing in just his ninth. Clay’s gone into the game. Coup’s the only starter from tonight’s game on the floor right now. Powell was in the paint. He found Hardy.
