The Dallas Mavericks continued their hot streak on Friday night, edging out the Sacramento Kings 107-103 at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California. 🏀🔥 This win not only marks their sixth consecutive victory but also strengthens their hold on sixth place in the Western Conference.
\"Uncle Drew\" himself, Kyrie Irving, stole the show with a stellar performance, leading the Mavericks to triumph. ✨ Having learned from their previous loss to the Mavericks at home on Tuesday, the Kings came out with intensity on both ends of the court from the very first possession. 💪
Domantas Sabonis was aggressive, attacking Daniel Gafford off the dribble and collecting six points along with four assists in the first quarter. Harrison Barnes and Keon Ellis were unexpected bright spots for the Kings in the opening period, each contributing 11 points. Barnes dominated in the paint, sinking four of his five shots, while Ellis was on fire from beyond the arc, nailing three of his four three-point attempts. 🔥🎯
Despite the Kings' multiple offensive threats and tight defense—especially their relentless double-teaming of Luka Doncic whenever he called for a screen—the Mavericks held their ground. With \"Uncle Drew\" leading the charge, the Mavs showcased resilience and skill, ultimately securing the win. 🏆
