After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Spurs 115-88. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
