After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Kings 109-95. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
