After Action Report

In Indiana, the Pacers survived the Mavericks 100-99. Every possession went the Pacers way. The Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Mavericks lately. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
