After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Pacers 117-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
