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.
