After Action Report

The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Kings 116-88. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Kings' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 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.
