After Action Report
The Kings took care of the Mavericks 118-106. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
