After Action Report

The Pacers rolled past the Mavericks 128-92. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Pacers; Pacers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
