After Action Report
The Kings snuck past the Mavericks 108-104. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
