After Action Report

The Mavericks outlasted the Spurs 119-111. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
