After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Mavericks 96-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
