After Action Report
The Pacers blew the doors off the Mavericks 141-121. Pacers' scorers couldn't be contained. Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
