After Action Report

The Mavericks pulled away from the Spurs 112-94. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
