After Action Report
The Pacers held off the Mavericks 115-107. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
