Analysis GRADES: 2/7/2026 - Spurs 138 v Mavs 125

[scott]

Notes:

• @scott - 20 Games over .500! We've had a few opportunities to get this point before but couldn't quite get there, but now we are here! Damn... feels good.
• @LeBowen - Finally a stress free game. Bryant and Castle the obvious positives, Fox's level of play keeps getting more and more concerning.
• @Guru of Nothing - Trade deadline moves paying big dividends.
• @mazerrackham - Wow. Legacy game from Castle. What a show!
• @spurs10 - Castle!! I enjoyed this game and was never in fear of losing. Good to see Bryant improving a bit. I was concerned for a while about him, but no longer.
• @PhantomDashCam - Is he a PG, Combo guard, SF? - Steph Castle is such an exciting talent that you can make great cases for all three tbh. Apart from a couple of trademark miscues that leave you scratching your head, kid was dominant in all facets. I thought Mitch was great in this game too. Short leashes, good pulse of the game, fed hot hands early. 20 games of .500? Keep it coming gents.

Wow, I hadn't realized that this win coincided with the team reaching 20 games above .500! And what a way to hit the mark.

Spurs have gone above and beyond this season, some rest is well-deserved during the ASB. This was a very entertaining game, the team is just rolling along, 4-win streak to boot, Carter Bryant looking sharp, just good shit all around.

Also, that Castle rebound to notch the 30pt triple double, and the putback dunk to make it a 40 point trip dub, on the same play..... That was special. Would love to know if that's ever been done before, seemed pretty rare statistically - and a highlight of the season.
