The Mavs don’t win and Luka Doncic raises his voice

The Mavericks lost again, this time for the second time to the fiery Utah Jazz in three nights, and star point guard Luka Doncic made no secret of his frustration with the Dallas breakdown.

Doncic scored 25 runs and Jalen Brunson had 13 on Friday for the Mavericks (8-11), who lost four in a row.

“Awful… I’d say it now looks like we really don’t care if we win games or not. We just need more energy and more effort “Doncic stated.

‘There really isn’t much to say. I’ve never felt like this before. We have to do something because this doesn’t look right. We have to come up and talk to each other and play much better than this. It’s mostly effort, ”he added.

Weakened by multiple injuries and absence of viruses this season, the Mavs acknowledged the lack of chemistry after Wednesday’s loss to Utah, but also said they weren’t playing hard enough. Again, the Mavericks were one step slower to lose balls and rebounds in play.

“I thought we were playing harder. We just didn’t play well at first. See, the offensive rebounds they got, that was a big, big deal. And that’s attention to detail. That was not good “, said Dallas coach Rick Carlisle.

The Jazz held onto the Mavericks 19-3 by shooting for 12 points in the first quarter, its lowest season. At one time, the Jazz stole the ball on three consecutive properties in Dallas.

At half time, the Mavericks narrowed the lead to 61-45 thanks to Doncic’s 17 points in the first half.
