After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Spurs 117-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Spurs. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
