After Action Report
The Kings demolished the Mavericks 109-80. Every possession went the Kings way. Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
