After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Mavericks 97-96. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Pacers are in a full-on tailspin; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pacers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
