After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Mavericks demolished the Kings 111-85. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Kings. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
