Down three key players, including Victor Wembanyama, and on the second half of a back-to-back, the Spurs were no match for Kyrie Irving and the Mavericks.
DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks arrived at the AmericanAirlines Center hungry after losing four consecutive one-possession games. The Spurs arrived tired after a hard-fought loss against the Los Angeles Lakers the night before, and missing a handful of their most important scorers. Put those two together, and the result Saturday night should not have been surprising. The Mavs used a second-half avalanche to overwhelm the undermanned Spurs 110-93 and break their recent slump.

The Spurs were playing without star center Victor Wembanyama, who suffered a right knee contusion banging with Lakers’ All-Star Anthony Davis 24 hours earlier, as well Devin Vassell, who has not been cleared for back-to-backs while ramping up from offseason foot surgery.
