After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Mavericks 142-115. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Spurs' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Spurs per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
