After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Spurs 101-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Spurs owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
