After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Mavericks 100-99. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
