After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Kings 127-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Kings couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
