After Action Report
The Pacers survived the Mavericks 108-107. Pacers torched the Mavericks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
