Well, the first of all of those games with those plays and moments that all matter is tonight, it's Dallas and San Antonio. Nice roll for Luca and the Mavericks are on the board. Zach Collins lost it, runs it down, avoided stepping on the baseline, and Malachi Branham, who has been playing quite well in the month of February, drills a three. And it's a score inside for Keldon Johnson. Excellent pass. The heave from the corner by Keldon Johnson is good. Low pass, too low for Zach Collins, on the pass by Keldon Johnson, picked up by Luca. Here's a corner three on the body, wide open, nailed by Reggie Bullock Jr. Here's Keldon Johnson running the floor, and called, and scores. That San Antonio is good at. They rebound, and they will get out and run. I think they're seventh in pace. Reggie again. This stroke looks good. Low pass by Green, deflected and picked up. Here's Branham in transition, and Branham all the way to the basket to lay it down. Back in the hands of Irving, with a shot clock at 10, a stare down three right in Branham's face. Lost ball by Branham on the dribble drive, picked up by Kyrie. He's got Josh Green running right there, and he finds him. Wesley just subbed into the game. Keldon Johnson pulls up and hits. Keldon Johnson, defender throws his helmet, so he makes the bullet pass inside to Charles Massey. Look away pass. Luca finds Wood for the slam dunk. Excellent pick and roll there. And maybe a chance for more first quarter points. There's two, could be three. Touch pass Wood to Hardaway. Three pointers on the money. Other end of the floor, another three made by Blake Wesley. Played a year at Notre Dame. 25th pick in the draft. Hardaway, outside last time, inside this time. Here's Graham, dribble to the right, off the screen, and pulls up for three. Justin Holliday looking for his first Maverick points, and there they are. And that's what Holliday is going to provide. Graham another three-pointer. San Antonio has come to life with four threes. Speaking of bench productivity, it is happening right now. Thanks to Timothy DeWayne Hardaway. Wood screens. Hardaway going back to him. Bates Diop went low to steal it. Now he's left the defense in a vulnerable position, and attacking and capitalizing on that vulnerable position. Now Branham trying to keep Kyrie Irving out of the lane. That's a hard thing to do, as we just saw. In the open court, Malachi Branham. Got the ball right, and hits the pull-up jumper. I like his game. Malachi Branham has 11 to lead San Antonio. Zach Collins in the paint with another basket, his fourth of the game. Branham couldn't get it to go outside, but does get it to go inside. He could still end up with three on this trip down the floor. Good pass. And good finish. Better finish. Not only do they have to adapt to the Kyrie presence, but also play the style that they know is going to win going down the stretch here. And that's part of what Jake Ditt is talking about. Diving into the lane here is Luka, and a blocking foul. Score the basket. Collins is called for the foul. Here is a difficult ball away. Oh, Kai! From a distance, as a matter of fact, he's over four. He caught it in the chops, man. Got caught up with McDermott. Ball turns around, and it moves to the hands of Reggie Bullock Jr. Sizzling tonight. Driving kick by Kyrie. All play from Luka, and that's his first three. And he points to Kyrie Irving, who set him up with a wide-open look. Bates Deoff on the kick out, and another three for San Antonio. In the hands of Kyrie at the end of the quarter. Knifing through the defense, and a spectacular finish. Well, first Luka, then Kyrie to dazzle the crowd at the end of the half. Howell is trying to seal, but it's just a post-up for Luka. Looks off the defense, and Bullock, for the fourth time in the game, connects from downtown. Luka in the paints, and that's his pillow soft touch. Lost ball by Graham, but alertly taps it over to Malachi Branham for a drive-in finish. Well, he's been outstanding this evening. Irving keeps the dribble going, and takes it all the way and scores. Well, it's how it's all flowing from—his foul goes up and scores. It's how it's all flowing from one area of pressure system to another. Here's Zach Collins to move into the paints, and a score for San Antonio out of the timeout. Hard drive by Kelvin Johnson, a finish and a foul. That's like a bowling ball flying through there. He's just so athletic and strong is what he is. He hangs in the air, takes bumps. Nice. Josh Green. Blake Wesley comes free on the inbounds pass, and a ferocious finish. Big-time finish. Hardaway in the catch-and-shoot position on the money on the— Catch-and-shoot for Wesley. We just saw him with that powerful finish inside, and now a smooth-looking jump shot. Long cross-court pass. Luka finds Justin Holliday. That three-point percentage from what it was in Atlanta is going to go up with passes like that. Dermott stumbles, but is able to gather himself and find Kata Bates-Diop for a three-pointer. And they're back within single digits. This is an eight-point game. Slicing to the defense, layup for Luka. Bates-Diop, a runner on the lane. Spinning at the free-throw line. Tough shot, and write him down for Luka. And Hardaway looking for Ford to start the quarter. Wow, great rebound. Soaring in. Holliday, third three of the game. A splashdown for newly-acquired member Justin Holliday. Kyrie takes him loose. See Doug McDermott, and he scores. Beat Holliday to the basket on the cut. And here's a goaltender. Charles Bassey. Score the two for Kyrie Irving. Kyrie part of swinging it all the way around. Impression, and Justin Holliday is making one to remember, baby. Collins going back to Doug McDermott, as we saw in his brief time with Dallas. A good off-the-ball mover and cutter, Doug McDermott. Kyrie in one corner, and a step-back. Corner three is good. Top-court. It is a B-E-A-utiful pass. It's an assist for Irving. It's a dunk for Powell. Collins, oh, misses a chippy. Collins has it back, and score that with a foul. Here's Nilekina initiating the offense. Holliday, rainbow three. Yes, sir. And we need to talk to him after the game. What do you think about that? Kristen Wood, 20th in the league in block shots per game. Add one to the tally tonight. Wood gauging the defense. Going inside against McDermott with a foul. Juro stepping to the defense is Keldon Johnson. Not an easy finish that time by Johnson. From the corner where Holliday is feeling it. Now Hardaway feels it. Gordie Jang subbed in for San Antonio before the timeout. They were looking for him on that possession. Pull up Hardaway, splash. He's using this to get some real rhythm cooking. And it's a deep one. And it's going up, and it's going in. The sixth made three in the game for Tim Hardaway Jr. And the 20th made three as a team for the Mavs. Well, what was it we noted earlier in the game? San Antonio's three-point defense. They're giving up 39.4%. And tonight's game coming here at the end, in the last four minutes of the contest. Leo Benson going in for the rebound. And Charles Bassey slams it in. Another offensive rebound. Bassey has won a moment ago. And you got another bowling pin. Bowling ball, bowling pin moment. March 15th down there and April 9th here and game number 82 of the year. Wow. Wow, yeah. Here's Green for three. From where Hardaway made it a moment ago. You have to shoot it. He didn't shoot it. He did shoot it that time. Didn't need to previously. May very well go over 123 based on what has happened tonight. Here is a putback once again for Bassey. Air ball three by Josh Green. San Antonio has one more chance. Dominic Harlow is on the board. The 137 that Dallas had in their first home game of the year against Memphis was the previous season high in scoring. The Mavericks eclipsed that by five points tonight. They put 142 on the board. And the Mavs win for the 20th time at home this year against 10 losses at American Airlines Center. The Spurs are 5 and 25 on the road and they've lost 15 straight games. They reached 60 games this year at 14 wins and 46 losses.
