After Action Report
The Kings pulled away from the Mavericks 95-84. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
