After Action Report
The Mavericks rolled past the Kings 126-105. Mavericks torched the Kings on the offensive end. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
