After Action Report

The Kings squeaked past the Mavericks 109-108. Kings controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
