After Action Report

The Mavericks fended off the Spurs 101-92. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Spurs rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
