After Action Report

In a track meet, the Mavericks outlasted the Spurs 135-121. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Spurs couldn't shake the cold spell. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
