After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings held off the Mavericks 103-97. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. The Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
