Additonal Notes
The Mavs were swept by the Spurs 4-0 for the second straight season. They have lost 9 straight against San Antonio.
The Spurs are the only West team the Mavs failed to beat this year.
The Mavericks magic number to clinch a playoff spot remains at two. They can clinch with a win over either Phoenix or Memphis in their last two games.
Quote of Note
"They just have our number."
