After Action Report

The Kings pulled away from the Mavericks 105-93. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
