After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Kings survived the Mavericks 135-131. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. Kings' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Kings locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
