When you play a double overtime game the night before, this is bound to happen.
Jazz 93, Mavs 82.
SALT LAKE CITY – Tough circumstances come with the NBA territory.
They caught up with the Mavericks on Wednesday night. And so did a young rookie who put it on the team from his hometown while announcing he is going to be a force in this league.
The Mavericks clearly were a step slow all night long after their marathon season opener in Phoenix on Tuesday and eventually were scorched by The Colony product Deron Williams and the Utah Jazz, 93-82, at the Delta Center.
It was predictable, given that the Mavericks had not finished their double-overtime win over the Suns until early Wednesday morning. They climbed into their beds in Utah after 4 a.m.
They were bleary-eyed when they showed up for Wednesday's game, which was the Jazz's season opener. They were met by a rambunctious bunch of Jazz players who fed off Williams' shooting and playmaking and introduced the Mavericks to a block party as well.
