After Action Report
In Dallas, the Spurs ran roughshod over the Mavericks 131-107. The Spurs got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
