After Action Report

The Pacers blew the doors off the Mavericks 126-96. The Pacers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pacers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
