After Action Report

The Mavericks took care of the Kings 133-118. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
