Reeling with four straight losses over a seven-day span, the Dallas Mavericks found themselves desperately needing a win on Saturday night. Wearing their new city edition jerseys for the first time this season, the Mavs were able to keep the main thing the main thing, then went out and defeated the San Antonio Spurs, winning, 110-93, at American Airlines Center.
In showing up and handling their business, the Mavs used a massive surge in the third quarter to improve to 6-7 on the season, while the Spurs fell to 6-8.
The Mavs hope to keep the winning going when they play the Thunder in Oklahoma City on Sunday at 6 p.
