After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Spurs 104-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
