After Action Report

The Spurs fended off the Mavericks 113-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Spurs' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
