After Action Report
In a track meet, the Mavericks buried the Pacers 146-97. The Pacers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pacers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
