Ellis broke a 93-93 tie with a driving basket with 1:48 to play to give Dallas the lead for good. He hit 15-of-23 from the field and made four steals.The Spurs dropped their fourth straight, including three-overtime games on Wednesday and Friday.I felt it, Ellis said of his late surge. Its in my blood. Those guys were tired from last night, and their defence let up, so we took advantage.Rondo, the four-time All-Star who played his first eight-plus seasons with the Boston Celtics, scored six points on 3-for-11 shooting. Acquired Thursday in a multi-player trade, he had nine assists, seven rebounds.It was exciting, Rondo said. Best part was we got the win.Dirk Nowitzki, limited to 13 points on 4-of-14 shooting, said of his new teammate: I actually think that he knows the plays better than some of our own guys.Marco Belinelli led San Antonio with 21 points. Aron Baynes added a career-high 16 points.Spurs coach Gregg Popovich dressed 10 players and played only eight. Veterans Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, who logged 90 and 71 minutes in the triple-overtime games, respectively, were left home. Danny Green and Tiago Splitter dressed but didnt play. They already were missing injured Tony Parker (hamstring) and Kawhi Leonard (hand) while Patty Mills (back) has yet to play this season.Giving up 25 points off turnovers on the road is not going to make it easy to win a game, Popovich said. But I thought the effort and the play out of these guys was really spectacular.Rondo missed his only two field-goal atttempts of the opening half and scored his first points as a Maverick with 7:59 to play in the third quarter on a drive that ended with goaltending by Boris Diaw. Nuri Sahin Jersey. ondos definitely a great player, the Spurs Cory Joseph said. He fills the stat sheet. He definitely can rebound.

The Mavericks trailed 47-42 at intermission having scored their fewest first-half points of the season.___TIP-INSSpurs: They have lost six of their last eight games . San Antonio hit all of its 26 free-throw attempts. . The Spurs had won 10 consecutive regular-season games against the Mavericks, who took them to seven games in the first round of last seasons playoffs.Mavericks: Dallas won for the first time this season in five games in which it failed to score 100 points. . Coach Rick Carlisle said he doesnt expect Raymond Felton (ankle) to make his season debut by Christmas.MINUTE BY MINUTEPopovich said he has no set plans for further reducing minutes for Duncan, Ginobili or anyone else in the wake of the recent three-overtime games: It doesnt happen in one game or two games or six games. It happens over a season. You have to think in the long term.ZONE READ?Carlisle said the addition of Rondo could lead to Dallas playing more zone defence like it did with Jason Kidd: Its definitely in the tool box of things. On paper, he looks like a guy that would fit well at that scheme because of anticipation, long arms, defensive rebounding ability.UP NEXTThe Spurs will host the Los Angeles Clippers, the fifth consecutive game against teams that would currently qualify for the playoffs, on Monday.The Mavericks will host Atlanta on Monday. They are 12-2 against Eastern Conference opponents.
