After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Spurs 130-125. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
