After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Pacers 99-94. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
