DALLAS -- This was just a matter of how badly the Dallas Mavericks would blow out the Utah Jazz.

The Mavs started fast against an inferior team that was playing for the second straight night -- making their first eight shots -- and never let the Jazz in the game. Seven Mavs scored in double figures, led by 21 points apiece from Dirk Nowitzki and Chandler Parsons.

Recovery of the game: Parsons followed up his 2-of-10 Dallas debut by missing six of his first seven shots from the floor. But he kept attacking and ended up with a fine line: 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting, seven rebounds and two assists.

Air show of the game: The Mavs looked like Lob City in the first quarter. Tyson Chandler welcomed himself back to the American Airlines Center in rim-rocking fashion with a little help from his teammates. In the first few minutes of the game, Jameer Nelson and Parsons drove into the teeth of the Utah defense and delivered lobs to Chandler, who ferociously finished with two hands on both occasions. Chandler celebrated the second slam with a primal scream at midcourt as the crowd roared with him. Nelson also threw a long-distance lob to Chandler later in the quarter for another highlight throwdown. Al-Farouq Aminu got into the act by catching an alley-oop from Devin Harris on the final play of the first quarter.

Stat of the game: Mavs centers Chandler and Brandan Wright combined to go 11-of-12 from the floor, scoring the majority of their 27 points on dunks.

Video of the game: This Run DMC video, produced by the Mavs' outstanding creative team, debuted during the first quarter and will be a viral hit. It features Nowitzki, Ellis and Parsons -- Dirk, Monta, Chandler -- dressed like the '80s rap group and dropping Mavs-specific rhymes. Nowitzki is a great sport but an awful rapper, even by NBA standards.
