The San Antonio Spurs destroyed the Mavericks on Monday night, tying the series 1-1 after Dallas won the first game on Saturday.

“I guess a split in San Antonio in a tough building is not bad,” Dirk Nowitzki said. “But if you win the first one you always want to get the second one. You’re not happy with a split after you get the first one.”

Tony Parker led the game in scoring with 38 points and finished 16-of-22 from the floor.

“You want to make sure I’m in attack mode every single play,” Parker said. “Even if it’s not to score, to penetrate for my teammates or make great cuts. I try to stay the same and take whatever they give me. Tonight in the first half they were going under the pick and roll and my outside shot was going. And then I was able to penetrate.”
