After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Mavericks 90-85. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
