Mavericks beat Jazz 112-100, extending Utah's losing streak to seven games.
According to SLC Dunk, a fan blog, Utah held Cooper Flagg to 21 points and Kyrie Irving to 35% shooting, but the blog criticized the Jazz bench minutes given to Isaiah Collier, Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh. Jaren Jackson Jr. is out, and the blog argues those lineups are costing Utah wins.

Suns beat Rockets 102-99 in a clutch-time win in Phoenix, according to SB Nation's recap.
SB Nation and Bright Side of the Sun, both fan blogs, call it a statement win over a Houston team that swept the season series last year, and they credit the Suns' energy and defensive intensity. Bright Side of the Sun's recap lists the final as 102-98, so the margin is reported inconsistently. The Dream Shake, a Rockets fan blog, reports Minnesota beat Houston 117-107 on Nov. 4, with Alperen Sengun posting a triple-double.
