After Action Report

The Mavericks snuck past the Kings 100-96. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Kings ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
