After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Spurs 117-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
