Notables from 105-92 whipping of SA

TONIGHT’S KEY RUN: The Mavericks used an 11-0 run over a 3:00 span in the second quarter (ended with 5:26 remaining in the period) to go up by 19 points, 46-27. The Mavericks never led by less than 10 points the rest of the way.

QUICK HITS
• Devin Harris scored 14 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter. In the period, he went 6-6 FGs and 2-2 FTs and scored 10 straight Mavs points between 5:13 and 1:49.
• The Mavericks used their sixth starting lineup of the season (Ager, Nowitzki, Diop, Howard, Harris).
• Dallas has won the last four games of the series.
• The Mavericks shot 52.1% from the field for the night (38-73 FGs). For the season, they are 3-0 when shooting better than 50%. They also improved to 2-0 when their opponent shoots 40.0% or less from the field (SA shot 40.0%, 32-80 FGs).
• For the first time this season, the Mavs’ bench was outscored by an opponent’s bench. The Spurs’ bench scored 53 points to the Mavs’ 37.
• Manu Ginobili (game-high 25) and Tim Duncan (24) scored 53.2% of the Spurs’ points on the night.

• Today marked the 276th consecutive regular/postseason sellout. The Mavs currently have the longest running sellout streak in the NBA.

The next closest team to Dallas’ current streak is Detroit (187 games).
