Even though Luka is tired, Murray is putting on a clinic. I never thought he would be this good on defense.

Nice lead at the half, but I will not let myself get too excited, knowing what happened in Phoenix.

He's been awesome for sure. I would expect the Mavs to attack the Kings a little different in the next half but sending Domas up was a major part of that as well. Keegan kept the pressure on and Domas sealed it. Great two man pressure from them and with this Mavs team letting the other guys beat you is probably a good call. That said, there were a lot of open 3's off those doubles but the Kings did hustle back out and challenge pretty well.

I'm really glad to see K'Von back in the thick of things. He's can be exploited one-on-one defensively and go thru 3-ball slumps. but he also is a very good secondary ball handler and shot creator, solid help defender, and strong rebounder from the 2. Brings a lot to the table.

If it wasn’t for a few broken plays we would be up 20. Neither team shooting well from 3 but we are doing a lot of other things well. After the 0-8 hole we recovered, come out strong in half #2!

Grant Williams sucks

I think I said it after the last game vs Dallas that he seemed to be like Carl Landry(in spirit, not style). Landry was a 14 a game guy in 20 minutes off the bench in Houston. Surely he would be a big scorer in a starting role. Instead he averaged 15-16 points in 30 minutes as a starter.

I thought Williams was getting out of Boston and into a starting lineup away from being a prime Draymond esque X factor type player but he’s not really any more productive than he was as a reserve in Boston…and maybe less impactful due to his role being of higher significance

Luka would be even more effective if he didn't launch so many 3's. He's a career 34% shooter, including last year. 10/game is too many. At least, I'd certainly think so if I were a Macs fan.

The Kings need to come out strong to start the third. If they can push the lead out to 20-25, I don't think Dallas will have the energy to make a comeback.

This is something that I wish more Kings fans would recognize about Malik Monk: great production off the bench doesn't necessarily translate to better production as a starter.

Yeah, the Mavs switched up the attack on those doubles. They're pushing the double all the way down to the rim and are kicking back out. The Kings might have to start playing Luka straight up or do more switching if their 3's are going to start falling.
