After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Kings 88-79. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
