After Action Report

In a track meet, the Spurs outlasted the Mavericks 133-119. Spurs torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
