After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Mavericks 93-91. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Kings. The Kings couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
