Properly, that actually took a flip.
Simply when it appeared just like the Dallas Mavericks and the returning Luka Doncic have been about to take a commanding 3-1 sequence lead vs. the Utah Jazz, missed free throws and a foul last possession price Dallas. Large time.
With the sequence now tied 2-2, the Mavs and Jazz will return to Dallas for Sport 5. Within the meantime, followers and sports activities pundits had a lot to say about how the Mavs closed on Saturday — or quite, failed to take action, in a 100-99 loss.
Right here’s a pattern of how Twitter reacted to Sport 4 in Salt Lake Metropolis:
God I like this Mavericks crew
— Jason Gallagher (@jga41agher) April 23, 2022
I am not an enormous fan of Luka on this fourth quarter mainly ignoring the whole lot good the mavericks did in video games 2 and three. mitchell hasn’t needed to transfer off a stationary finney-smith your complete interval.

LUKA!!!!!!!! ???????
— LeBron James (@KingJames) April 23, 2022
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a detailed up of Mark Cuban’s face when the mavericks lose a recreation they need to have received.
— chris nashawaty (@ChrisNashawaty) April 23, 2022
Properly, that stinks. I want it when the Mavericks win.

That couldn’t have been the play design popping out the timeout #JKIDD ??♂️??♂️??♂️@dallasmavs
— DaryleTHEGURUJohnson (@DDDGURU) April 23, 2022
The @dallasmavs took waaaaay too lengthy to get into that final shot.
Simply trotted up the ground like they’d on a regular basis in world.
If the Mavs blow this sequence, the ultimate seconds of recreation 4 will hang-out.

That is a extremely unhealthy loss for the Mavericks.

Utah’s comeback 100-99 win ensures a Sport 6 again right here on Thursday. That’s, after what’s at all times a pivotal Sport 5 on Monday in Dallas.

The Mavericks haven’t been out of the primary spherical since 2011. They simply blew a shot to go up 3-1 after what appeared like a dagger Luka step again. It’s a 3 recreation sequence with residence court docket benefit now. I’m sick. I simply need to see one of many groups I root for get out of the first spherical. pic.twitter.com/1K3IU9ipGT

Rattling Mavs ought to’ve had that one.
— joshua carraway (@JoshuaCarraway) April 23, 2022
The Mavs have been two rimmed-out free throws, one cease, or one basket away from a 3-1 lead with a closeout recreation at residence. As a substitute, it is 2-2 and Utah has some life. There may be nothing just like the playoffs.

Terrible loss for the Mavs ??
— Rick Dickson (@rickdicksonreal) April 23, 2022
mavs have been +500 after halftime and got here two missed FTs away from pulling it off.
— Brandon Caldwell (@_brandoc) April 23, 2022
It took the whole lot going proper for the Jazz to win by 1 & keep away from taking place 3-1. Nonetheless be ok with issues total, however the Mavs nonetheless should learn to shut out a sequence. They’d the Clippers on life help final yr too till they didn’t.
— Playoff Dalton (@dalton_trigg) April 23, 2022
It in all probability sounds bizarre with Luka hitting the large photographs down the stretch, however I feel the Mavs made a mistake not letting Brunson create.
— Jason Shepherd (@jsnshep) April 23, 2022
Luka performed nice in his return. Dwight Powell (who I’ve defended as an okay participant) price the Mavs the sport with two missed throws late. That loss is on missed free throws late.
— Clint Brakebill (@CBrakebill) April 23, 2022
What a bruuuutal finish to that recreation. Powell chokes onerous, then a moronic last play. What a catastrophe to blow a 4 level lead with that little time left. Gotta be higher to advance Mavs.
