The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Sacramento Kings Wednesday night, 123-119 in Dallas. The Mavericks came into the game with their season on the line, and pulled out a win. The victory ties the Mavericks with the Oklahoma City Thunder record-wise, though the Thunder hold on to the 10th and last play-in spot due to owning the tiebreaker over Dallas.
The first half was more of what we’ve seen since February, with the Mavericks scoring buckets on buckets on buckets, but offering almost zero resistance to the Kings offense. The Kings, playing on the second night of a back-to-back, started off the game looking tired.
