The Mavs led 81-71 after Devin Harris made two free-throws with 7:45 left in the game. The Spurs took the lead with 3:25 left and never looked back.

The Mavs bench did better than their starting lineup. If they want to win any games this series, Dirk and the rest of starters have to step it another notch.
