The Spurs relied on an uncharacteristically active and engaged defense to help extend their season-best win streak to 6 games by defeating the Mavericks on Tuesday night. With 19 deflections and 11 steals, the Spurs repeatedly disrupted the Mavs’ offense.
DeMar DeRozan, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Derrick White each had incredible nights on the other end, combining to score 84 of the team’s 112 points, but their work on defense was just as important. DeMar led the team with 7 deflections and 4 steals, while Derrick was second with 3 of each.
