Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Luka Doncic shot 6 of 27 from the field but still finished with his eighth triple-double in 10 games. However, this statement is false as Doncic's shooting percentage was actually below 25% while playing regular minutes. Secondly, the article quotes Spurs coach Gregg Popovich saying that San Antonio made all kinds of mistakes but so did they and they want to win a championship. This quote implies that both teams were equally responsible for their loss when in fact, Dallas won the game by 6 points. Lastly, the article states that Doncic weaved around a screen for a three-point play in the opening minutes which fooled Sochan into leaping into the Mavericks All-Star. However, this statement is false as there was no such incident mentioned in any of the quotes provided.

(80%)
The article contains several examples of religious bias. The author uses the phrase 'not all wins are pretty' to imply that the Mavericks should not be proud of their victory because it was a close game and they had to rely on defense rather than shooting well. This implies that winning is only valuable if it comes easily, which is a biased viewpoint.

Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses a dichotomous depiction of the Spurs as 'lowly' and their front office being tried in front of a military tribune for crimes against basketball. This is an ad hominem attack on the Spurs organization, not relevant to the Mavericks win or Luka Doncic's performance. The author also appeals to authority by stating that PJ Washington is the team's best wing defender and it isn't particularly close without providing any evidence for this claim. Additionally, there are instances of inflammatory rhetoric such as 'Derrick Lively appeared lost on defense', which is a subjective statement not backed up with concrete examples.
