After Action Report

The Kings survived the Mavericks 131-127 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
