After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Spurs 109-102. The Spurs had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Spurs utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
