After Action Report
The Kings squeaked past the Mavericks 106-104. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Kings' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
