After Action Report

The Spurs snuck past the Mavericks 103-101. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Spurs. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
