After Action Report

The Pacers blew the doors off the Mavericks 133-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; Pacers' balanced five covered every spot on the floor. The Pacers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
