As it’s been the case for the entire season, the Spurs didn’t have their full squad for the second game of a back-to-back, but this time they faced an opponent that was as shorthanded as they were.
The visiting Mavericks, missing both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, had as little cohesion as the home team but still managed to escape the AT&T Center with a 137-128 overtime win in a matchup that had everything except stars.
The game started as expected, with a lot of issues with execution for both squads, a high pace and a bunch of fouls caused by some bad defense.
