Tweet: Spencer and Jalen dominated that game from the jump to the end. Big time Dub!!

Dinwiddie went off for 20 points, five rebounds and six assists, and Brunson had 31 points, one rebound and five assists

[{"selector":"#anim-5902ea41-2077-4e9b-8e00-0517026d9967","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(106.21469%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cbcfc44f-a11f-4f9f-aa3b-1184035ac2a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3401f084-3806-49fe-9520-3b0d6cb0c82f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The Jazz have had several years of regular season success

[{"selector":"#anim-769e9b35-321b-4a73-b389-bd01c0eb24e2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.99999%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c0abeacf-5b92-4197-9bd1-b1b47d0efc5f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5ca13c4-f603-4ab9-a29b-244372ef2ea5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

they continue to fall short in the NBA Playoffs, so this could be a make or break year for the future of the franchise

[{"selector":"#anim-7c73eba7-88f7-4206-8832-5ebdebd41600","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(104.65754%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cdaaaa10-bea3-4288-a0d0-6efe5e041b8a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-60658716-07aa-40a7-9ec7-a4e8ff285243","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

As for the Mavs, they have lost in the first-round of the playoffs in back-to-back seasons

[{"selector":"#anim-26f1403d-eb80-464c-ac72-cd01fd2121ba","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(108.01186%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b8b82e56-a9b9-4eb4-85ba-fe175cc5715f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-bed998f9-75a7-4f81-b085-0d732417e3de","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

But with new head coach Jason Kidd, he looks much better this season

James and the Lakers finished the year as the 11th seed in the Western Conference
