After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Mavericks 120-97. Spurs torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
