After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Kings 105-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Kings came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
