After Action Report
In Dallas, the Spurs snuck past the Mavericks 104-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
