After Action Report
The Pacers squeaked past the Mavericks 103-101. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
