My Utah Jazz snapped their four-game losing streak by handing the Dallas Mavericks their first home loss of the season and fourth overall in a convincing 93-81 win.

Matt Harpring hustled for 19 points on the night, and Calbert Cheaney recorded a new season-high with 17 to go with seven rebounds. Karl Malone, while still not being able to toss a ball through the Ring of Fire, still ended up with 16 points and 12 rebounds, and Greg Ostertag turned in 16 and six.

Dallas got nothing from anyone besides Steve Nash, Michael Finley, and Dirk Nowitzki and were held to 33% shooting by the Jazz, including a glistening 4-24 from behind the arc.
