After Action Report
In Dallas, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Mavericks 121-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Spurs; Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
