After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks squeaked past the Spurs 95-93. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
