After Action Report
The Spurs blew the doors off the Mavericks 87-67. Spurs' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Spurs came in with something to prove after a loss; Spurs' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
