After Action Report
The Kings pulled away from the Mavericks 109-96. Ugly basketball, but the Kings did just enough. Kings' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
What tipped it
- Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
