After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Kings 103-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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.
  • Kings · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
