After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Mavericks snuck past the Kings 90-86. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
