After Action Report
The Kings blew the doors off the Mavericks 134-112. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings steamroller is in full effect right now; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings bench chemistry carried them. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
