Luka Dončić, Mavs Lose to Jazz Without Kyrie as NBA Fans Blast 4-Game Losing Streak

Dallas Mavericks Struggles Continue in Loss to Utah Jazz

The Dallas Mavericks' struggles continued on Friday night as they fell to the Utah Jazz 108-100 at home. The loss was the Mavericks' fourth straight and dropped their record to 16-17 on the season. Luka Dončić led the Mavericks with 33 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, but it wasn't enough to overcome a strong performance from the Jazz.

The Jazz were led by Lauri Markkanen, who scored 29 points and grabbed 14 rebounds. Jordan Clarkson added 22 points and 6 assists, while Malik Beasley chipped in with 19 points. The Mavericks were without Kyrie Irving, who was nursing a right calf strain.

Mavericks Struggle Without Irving

The Mavericks have struggled mightily without Irving in the lineup. They are now 0-4 in games without him this season. Irving is averaging 27.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game this season. He is one of the most dynamic players in the NBA and his absence has been a major blow to the Mavericks.

The Mavericks will need to find a way to win without Irving if they want to make a playoff push this season. They have a tough schedule coming up, with games against the Phoenix Suns, Golden State Warriors and Los Angeles Clippers on the horizon.

NBA Fans Blast Mavericks' Losing Streak

Some fans have called for the firing of head coach Jason Kidd, while others have criticized the team's lack of effort and execution. The Mavericks will need to turn things around quickly if they want to avoid further criticism from fans.

Conclusion

The Mavericks' loss to the Jazz was a disappointing setback. The team is now 0-4 without Kyrie Irving and their playoff hopes are starting to dwindle.
