After Action Report
The Spurs took care of the Mavericks 116-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Spurs' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Spurs' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- 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.
- 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.
