After Action Report

The Mavericks rolled past the Kings 120-86. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
