After Action Report
In Dallas, the Kings held off the Mavericks 144-136. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
