Welcome to the Game Thread. Veterans of the Game Thread know how we do things around here, but for all you newbies we have a few rules. Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much.
This is only the 12th game of the season for the Silver and Black, but their third against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks. The previous two contests were close games, but the Spurs’ inability to close out games cost them twice, losing both in the last minute of play.
