After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Pacers 105-104. Every possession went the Mavericks way. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
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.
