After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Spurs 108-105. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
