After Action Report
The Spurs survived the Mavericks 101-99. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Spurs' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
