After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Pacers 109-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
