For the 4th straight game Mavs trail at halftime. 49-47, but it could have been so much worse after Spurs began the game on 23-3 run. Bench led by Brunson (13 pts) & Kleber 6 pts 7 rebs 4 blks got them back in the game. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas – 9:45 PM

Luka Doncic was minus-23 in the first half, when he had 7 points, 0 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 turnovers. So it’s a bit of a miracle that the Mavs only trail the Spurs by two points. – 9:36 PM

Forbes hits a buzzer-beating 3 and Spurs go into half ahead 49-47.
Both teams spent about 12 minutes apiece imploding , but can maybe feel OK about things (???) seeing as it’s still a game – 9:35 PM

There were times last season that scouts were prone to pose the question: Does Jalen Brunson rank as Dallas’ second most dependable player? He certainly has been tonight in QBing the Mavericks’ rally from an early 25-7 deficit to their old friends from San Antonio. – 9:19 PM

Cacok on how playing for Kevin Keatts at UNC-Wilmington prepared him for Spurs:
“He definitely had us running out there. I was in the best shape of my life. I hated it, but it was great. We never got tired, were pressing all the time. We played hard, and that’s what we do here.” – 2:35 PM
