The Dallas Mavericks hosted the San Antonio Spurs on Jan. 16. It was a Wednesday battle between the in-state rivals. The game was also important in the tightly packed Western Conference standings.
The Mavs started off hot, but ultimately fell 105-101 to the Spurs. It was a disappointing loss because Dallas had a 15-point lead at the end of the first quarter. It was not all bad, though.
