Spurs receive championship rings and banner, en route to 93-104 win over Mavericks.

The mood was jovial as the Spurs were honored with championship rings once again, as a banner joined the rest in the rafters. They found themselves in a game, reliably due to the timeless rival Mavericks being on the court. 

The Spurs won the first quarter, 28-17 but Dallas stormed back in the 2nd, 28-16. The Spurs recovered to win the 3rd, 30-15 with the Mavs edging them out in the 4th, 33-30.

Drummond had his second nice game of the season, dropping 21 points & 8 rebounds with 4 blocks. Brandon Ingram had 18 points, 7 rebounds with 3 steals. Dejounte Murray scored 13 with 5 assists. Fred VanVleet chipped in 13 points, hitting 3-5 from long range. Thomas Bryant showed promise with 11 points. Evan Fournier went 1-7 in a cold night.

For the Mavs, it was a scoring struggle: Kristaps Porzingis hit on just 5-12 shots (14 points) with Deni Avdija's 13 points, 9 rebounds & 6 assists spoiled by a 5-13 night of his own & the leader, Luka Doncic, had 12 points, 6 rebounds & 6 assists on a 5-13 clip. Dwight Powell is back in action and contributed 9 points, 9 rebounds.

To make it worse, Dallas had 16 turnovers and gave up 17 free throws to the Spurs.
