After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Kings 92-89. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
