NBA-Spurs embarrass Mavericks in Dallas

Feb 5 (The Sports Xchange) - The San Antonio Spurs handed the Dallas Mavericks one of their more humiliating home defeats in franchise history with a 116-90 victory on Friday in front a stunned-silent sellout crowd at American Airlines Center.

The Spurs put on a clinic from the start, reeling off a quick 16-4 run that snowballed into an embarrassing evening for the Mavs, who lost for a third consecutive game. San Antonio led 27-12 after the first quarter and 62-26 at halftime behind the power of a 53-18 run.

"We played very poorly in the first half and they played great," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said.
