After Action Report

The Kings snuck past the Mavericks 112-111. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Kings stayed locked in. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
