After Action Report
In San Antonio, the Mavericks snuck past the Spurs 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
