After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Spurs 126-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
