Doug Christie has finally achieved his first career win as an NBA head coach and it came at the expense of a shorthanded Dallas Mavericks team that was missing its two best players.
The Mavs were without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving and the Kings took full advantage of the situation to secure a much-needed win.
The game was a closely contested affair in the early stages with both teams creating scoring opportunities.
However the Kings slowly began to assert their dominance and by halftime they had built a substantial lead that the Mavericks were unable to overcome.
Doug Christie was visibly relieved and ecstatic after the game and was quick to praise his players for their hard work and dedication.
The win will come as a huge confidence booster for the Kings who have been struggling to find form this season.
The Mavs on the other hand will be looking to regroup and recover from the loss and will be hoping that their star players can return to action soon.
The victory for the Kings marks an important milestone for Doug Christie who has been working tirelessly to turn the team around.
Christie has been under pressure to deliver results and the win will take some of the heat off him as he looks to build on this momentum and lead his team to more successes in the future.
