After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks survived the Pacers 104-99. Mavericks torched the Pacers on the offensive end. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
