After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks blew the doors off the Kings 135-103. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Kings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
