After Action Report

The Spurs snuck past the Mavericks 125-124. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
