After Action Report
The Kings downed the Mavericks 100-87. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
