The Utah Jazz is now down 2-1 in their first-round NBA Playoffs series against the Luka Doncic-less Dallas Mavericks, which means tensions are definitely running high. This group could be totally blown up this offseason if they suffer another early postseason exit and it's clear there is a lot of frustration.
The Jazz fought their way back into Game 3, coming back from a 17-point deficit. But, the Mavs' hot shooting proved to be too much, eventually losing their second in a row. During the contest, it also appears Danuel House Jr and Bojan Bogdanovic got in a heated scuffle on the bench mid-game.

You can literally see how frustrated they are. Donovan Mitchell is trying to calm his squad down. Towards the end of the video, it looks like the two make amends, but jeez, it's so evident how much pressure the Jazz are feeling.
Many expected Utah to have no problem taking control of this series with Doncic out, but the Mavs' scorching hot shooting has put a damper on their aspirations. Now, Luka is expected to return in Game 4, which puts Quin Snyder's group in an extremely tough position.
Let's hope they can bounce back in Game 4 and even up the series or else, the Jazz will be in serious trouble.
