After Action Report
The Kings rolled past the Mavericks 109-78. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
