After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Kings 109-103. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
