After Action Report
The Mavericks held off the Kings 98-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Kings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · 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.
