After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Spurs 109-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
