Game Recap
Utah's overtime victory pushed the combined scoring well clear of the pregame expectation, as the Jazz edged Dallas 140–133 in a game that opened at 240.5 and finished at 273—an over by 32.5 points. The opening quarter set the tone immediately, with both teams combining for 80 points in Q1 alone, a sign that the under call would face headwinds from the start. Dallas kept pace through the first half, combining with Utah for 146 points across two quarters, but the momentum shifted dramatically in the third: just 45 combined points suggested a potential defensive tightening that might have justified the under thesis. Q4 erased that hope, as the teams combined for 67 points to force overtime, where Utah scored 11 to Dallas's 4, clinching the 7-point win.
Cooper Flagg led Dallas with 42 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, supported by P.J. Washington's 25 points and 14 boards. Utah's Keyonte George countered with 37 points and 6 assists, while Lauri Markkanen added 33 points and 16 rebounds to anchor the Jazz defense and glass. DAGGER's pregame lean to the under missed decisively, as the second-half dip to 112 combined points could not offset the explosive first 24 minutes and the extra session that tipped the scale decisively over.
