After Action Report

The Pacers ran roughshod over the Mavericks 131-99. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pacers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
