After Action Report
The Kings survived the Mavericks 99-97. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
