After Action Report
The Pacers outlasted the Mavericks 100-91. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
