After a floor condensation delay that spanned 18 minutes, the Dallas Mavericks kicked off the second half of the season by keeping the San Antonio Spurs winless for their Rodeo Road Trip 142-116. Though they never seriously threatened to wrestle back the lead held by the Mavericks, the Spurs headed into the fourth down only nine before a barrage of Dallas threes did them in.
In its 15th straight loss, San Antonio again received sustained bursts of playmaking from Keldon Johnson (22 points. 8 rebounds, and 7 assists) and impressive offensive production by Malaki Branham (23 points and 5 assists).
