After Action Report

The Kings rolled past the Mavericks 123-102. The Kings got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Kings' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Kings per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

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