After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pacers squeaked past the Mavericks 105-104. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Early returns: the Pacers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
