After Action Report

The Mavericks held off the Kings 112-103. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
