After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Kings 103-100. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
