After Action Report

In Dallas, the Pacers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 116-85. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers came in with something to prove after a loss. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
