Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle has admitted that the San Antonio Spurs had their best game of the series as they knocked his side out of the playoffs with a game seven victory on Sunday.
The Mavs came up short as they exited courtesy of a 4-3 series defeat, with the Spurs coming out of their final game as 119-96 victors at the AT&T Center.
"We got hit by a tidal wave early. They had their best game today," Carlisle told reporters after the game.
"They're the best of the best, and they've been great for a long time. They've got a great chance, obviously."
The Spurs will now face the Portland Trail Blazers in the first game of the semi-finals on Tuesday.
