After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Pacers 93-82. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
