The Dallas Mavericks had lost two straight close games heading into this day-time contest with the Kings. They looked to avoid a three-game losing streak, which would be the longest losing streak they’ve had this season. The Kings got off to a hot start, jumping out to an eight point lead in two minutes. Sacramento got out to a ten point lead at the end of the first quarter thanks to their 9-for-16 shooting from deep. Compare that to a struggling Dallas unit that went just 1-for-6. The second quarter started with three Luka Doncic turnovers in just 20 seconds.
