After Action Report

The Pacers blew the doors off the Mavericks 140-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pacers cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pacers locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
