After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Kings buried the Mavericks 118-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Kings cashed in. Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
