After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Pacers 143-81. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
