After Action Report

The Spurs demolished the Mavericks 133-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.

  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
