After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Mavericks handled the Spurs 107-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
