After Action Report
In Dallas, the Spurs took care of the Mavericks 121-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
