After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Mavericks 113-112. The breakneck pace played right into Pacers' hands. The Pacers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pacers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
