After Action Report
The Mavericks fended off the Spurs 100-91. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
