After Action Report
In Indiana, the Mavericks outlasted the Pacers 110-98. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pacers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
