After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Pacers 97-87. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
