After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Kings 97-81. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
