After Action Report
The Spurs handled the Mavericks 96-86. Ugly basketball, but the Spurs did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Spurs stayed locked in; the Spurs bent the defense out of shape from deep. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
