After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks handled the Pacers 102-90. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Pacers. The Pacers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
