The Mavericks defeated the Jazz 144-122 on Thursday in the first game of a back-to-back set in Texas. They led by as many as 38 points after shooting 56.7% from the field and converting 17 turnovers into 30 points, improving to 4-4 in January.

Klay Thompson produced 26 points, Naji Marshall tallied 22 points and Jaden Hardy added 19 points and five assists to lead the Mavericks without Cooper Flagg. After hitting six triples, Thompson surpassed Damian Lillard for fourth place on the all-time 3-point field goal list (2,809).
