After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks edged the Pacers 105-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
