Tim Duncan and Tony Parker couldn't get San Antonio past Dallas in the playoffs, but the Spurs didn't even need their All-Star duo this time.

Richard Jefferson scored 29 points and the Spurs won again without their two biggest stars, beating the Mavericks 92-83 on Wednesday night in the first rematch since Dallas swiftly booted its division rivals from the playoffs last season.
