After Action Report

The Mavericks stunned the Kings 124-114. The Kings had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
