After Action Report
The Pacers took care of the Mavericks 94-80. The Pacers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pacers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
