The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Sacramento Kings, 105-99, at American Airlines Center on Sunday afternoon.

The Mavericks (4-2) delivered an impressive performance Sunday to take care of the Kings (3-3), as they grabbed the lead in the first half and never looked back. In fact, Dallas established the tone of the game rather quickly and grabbed a nine-point lead following the first 12 minutes of action (31-22), though the Kings responded and won the second quarter by a 25-22 score. Dallas won the third quarter by four points (29-25) and were up by 10 points with only 12 minutes left, an advantage they'd never relinquish the rest of the way. Even though the Kings won the final 12 minutes of action by a 27-23 score, it wasn't enough to threaten Dallas' lead. The Mavs improved to 4-2 and bounced back from their ugly loss against Denver the last time out, while the Kings remain extremely inconsistent.
