SAN ANTONIO – The Mavericks lived by one of the oldest sayings in the book on Monday night.
It’s about quality, not quantity.
With only eight bodies – seven during the final six minutes of the game – they dug deep for a 133-129 victory over the San Antonio Spurs at Frost Bank Center.
It wasn’t the prettiest game you’ll ever see. But it was one that was built with the same sort of grit the Mavericks displayed back when they had players named Irving, Washington, Lively and Gafford on the floor.
