5*
(NBA) Dallas vs. San Antonio,
Point Spread: -8.00 | -107.00 San Antonio (Home)
Result: Loss
Dallas took their best shot on Easter Sunday, had the Spurs dead to rights, then watched San Antonio come back for the 5 point win on their home floor. That is the type of loss that can have a carryover effect for the losers, and a shot of confidence for the winners. San Antonio has now won 10 in a row against Dallas straight up, and the Spurs have also won 16 in a row at home since the regular season. The Spurs didn't shoot the ball well in game 1 and they still won by 5 pts. But overall the Mavs cannot rebound the ball enough to hold off the defensive pounding of the Spurs. Dallas didn't get to the FT line on Sunday and this is gonna hurt them on the road. San Antonio is doing what they do, as every year, with Tim Duncan and Splitter and often unnoticed solid scoring from Danny Green. Tony Parker is a special player, and can turn it on real quick, and he will in this series as well. The Spurs bench is also much better and I like the Spurs by double digits in game 2.
