After Action Report

The Spurs snuck past the Mavericks 115-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
