The Dallas Mavericks dropped another crushing game to the Sacramento Kings on April 26. They got off to an awful start as the Kings led 20-3 midway through the first quarter. The Mavs were listless early and short-handed in Sacramento. Kristaps Porzingis, Josh Richardson, J.J. Redick, and Tyrell Terry were out, but the team’s lack of energy was disappointing, especially considering the Kings were on the second night of a back-to-back.
Dallas cut the deficit to 31-17 to close the opening period, but they needed a spark.
