After Action Report

The Mavericks took care of the Kings 106-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • 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.
