The search is 'kings vs mavericks,' and the surprise is the score. The winless Sacramento Kings led the Dallas Mavericks 94-82 with 7:20 left in the fourth quarter at American Airlines Center on Monday night, according to Sportradar's live match listing read at staging - a team that arrived 0-6 closing in on its first win of the season, on the road, against a 4-2 Dallas team.
It was not a wire-to-wire runaway. Dallas led the game early and the teams traded the lead through a tight first half that ended with Sacramento up a single point, 54-53, VAVEL's live file reported. The Kings then built the margin in the second half - they led 91-79 with 8:14 left in the fourth on Sportradar's earlier read this cycle, and stretched it to 94-82 by the 7:20 mark.
Dallas played without Kyrie Irving, ruled out with left knee management, a fact the station's evening pull recorded before tip-off. The Mavericks had won three straight entering the night, per the pregame reports read at the pull, which made them the heavy home favorite in a game Sacramento is now 7 minutes from stealing.
No final is claimed here - the game was still in the fourth quarter at this file's last read. The result, and whether Sacramento's first win held up, files on the next production cycle.
