What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
