Trent Forrest scored a team-high 16 points to lead the Utah Jazz to an 81-80 double-overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks in the MGM Resorts Summer League on Wednesday evening at Cox Pavilion.

The Jazz jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead, but the Mavs bounced back to take a five-point lead by halftime. The Jazz picked it up again in the third and closed the quarter on a 14-5 run to take a five-point lead into the fourth.
