After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Spurs fended off the Mavericks 105-98. Spurs torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
