After Action Report
The Kings edged the Mavericks 100-91. The Kings won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Kings steamroller is in full effect right now; Kings' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Kings · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
