SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz made a statement at home on Monday with a 140-133 win over the Dallas Mavericks in overtime.
A 42-point outing from Cooper Flagg was overshadowed by a combined 70 points from Keyonte George and Lauri Markkanen. Kyle Filipowski, starting for the resting Jusuf Nurkic, added 25 points and nine boards.
With the win, Utah improves to 10-15 on the season. Five of those wins have come in the last two and a half weeks. Last season, the Jazz didn’t win their 10th game until well after the new year.

First Quarter
First bucket of Ace vs. Flagg is Bailey missing a pull-up and throwing down a putback off his own miss. That was crazy.
— Chandler Holt (@CHoltSports) December 16, 2025
Ace Bailey and Cooper Flagg exchange buckets to open this game.
Already a better showing from both players than their lone preseason matchup.

Kyle Anderson making the full transformation from entering the NBA as a point guard to now playing center at times for the Jazz, is a testament to how highly teams think of him.
Cool NBA career.

In addition to his insane length (probably easier to see in person), Cooper Flagg’s quick decisions really stand out.
He gets downhill in the blink of an eye, and he’s dominated the Jazz early in this game.

Lauri Markkanen, who is probably one of the 10 nicest guys in the NBA, gets hit with a flagrant one for elbowing Max Christie on the rip through.
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) December 16, 2025
After one, the @utahjazz trail the @dallasmavs 43-37.
Mavericks are shooting 15-21 from the floor, while the Jazz are 5-7 from three.

Second Quarter
On the topic of building around Keyonte George, his emerging foul-drawing mastery really changes how high his ceiling can be.
He’s getting really difficult to guard.
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) December 16, 2025
Cody Williams throws down a HUGE one handed dunk, then converts the middy plus the foul.
Honestly, maybe the best offensive two-play sequence of his career.

All the box scores are showing Cody Williams with 7 points, but he’s got the dunk, the mid-ranger (plus the foul), a corner three, and then a lay-up on a fast break.
I believe he has 9.
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) December 16, 2025
Back-to-back 20-point first halves from Keyonte George.
Feels like he’s getting even better, quickly. https://t.co/yte1uj9Phr

Third Quarter
Ace Bailey has had a few good defensive possessions against Cooper Flagg here in the third quarter.
Keeping his verticality to contest without picking up his fifth foul.
— Ben Anderson (@BensHoops) December 16, 2025
basketball play, per the officials. No flagrant.
