After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Spurs 115-102. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
  • Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
