After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Pacers 122-98. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
