After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Mavericks 123-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Spurs cashed in. The Spurs sent shots into the fifth row all night; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Spurs rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
