After Action Report
In Dallas, the Pacers survived the Mavericks 103-99. Ugly basketball, but the Pacers did just enough. The Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
