In an intense matchup at Frost Bank Center, the Dallas Mavericks displayed a robust offensive performance that led them to victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Dallas' offense shone brightly with their field goal percentage settling at an effective rate of 48 percent by game's end. Their prowess from beyond the arc contributed significantly as well; they sank ten three-pointers out of thirty attempts resulting in a decent three-point shooting percentage of 33 percent.


Luka Doncic and his teammates also excelled in ball distribution and court vision which is evident from their total assists count reaching up to an impressive number of thirty-one for this game alone. Their careful handling of possession is reflected in their assists-turnover ratio standing at a commendable figure – for every turnover committed by players on court there were more than three successful assists made.

Defensively, while not as dominant as their offensive showcase, Dallas managed to hold its ground effectively enough throughout four quarters. They blocked three shots and stole possession six times during playtime which helped keep San Antonio's scoring opportunities limited despite having fewer total rebounds than their opponents (47 compared to Spurs' higher tally).


The bench played no small part either contributing forty-two points towards overall team success while maintaining efficiency on both ends – defensively allowing just over one point per opponent possession and offensively scoring slightly above one point per own possession.
