In a game that meant absolutely nothing to Dallas, but was somewhat important to SA, what is a good descriptive word to put in the following sentence? Dallas ________ the Spurs. (whipped, spanked, throttled, demolished, paddled, made sissies of, embarrassed, schooled, mastered, or [choose your own word])

Oops. I should have said verb, not adjective.

Crackhead. I'll give you props for knowing who won the game, but that's about it. Do Mavs fans not grasp the concept of numbers? The score was 91-86. I'd hardly call that a beating or any other synonym of the word. And you really think that meant absolutely nothing to Dallas? Get real. Sure, statistically, there was no need for them to win, but even Dirk admitted they were "fighting to win the game." They wanted it.

beat, handled, upset are the safe word to use in this case. If you're trying to emphasize the word "beat", Dallas would have to have beat the Spurs by over 12-14 points to use technical words like: demolished, manslaughtered, and embarassed.

None of your words/phrases are adjectives. But any rational person could see that your fill-in words do not justly describe the game. Squeaked-by maybe, but slaughtered get real.
Granted a win is a win anyway you look at it, but its nowhere a win like UTAH (104) vs Mavs, (89) that was EMBARRASSING.

I don't know the score. If a lot, I'd use humiliated. If close, I'd used edged.
