After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Spurs 107-103. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
