However, Dallas would bounce back from its abysmal 20.7 percent shooting from the first quarter to outscore San Antonio 45-29 in the second period and cut the deficit down to a dozen.

Despite eight players notching double-digit point totals, Sandro Mamukelashvili (23), Dominick Barlow (21) and Malaki Branham (20) led the way in the score column. 

For Dallas, guard Theo Pinson recorded his first career triple double (23 points, 12 assists and 13 rebounds).

Additionally, Jaden Hardy (25) and Davis Bertans (19) each finished with big contributions for the Mavericks. 

San Antonio's 138 points will finish tied for their second-highest point total on the year. 

Along with this, the 21-point differential jumps December 19th's victory over the Houston Rockets as its largest in a win this season.
