After Action Report

The Spurs survived the Mavericks 111-108. Spurs' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Spurs played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
