After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Kings 116-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
