Pacers are getting a lot of production from a lot of players. Mavericks have three players in the game right now with a total of four points, two of which just came on a Derrick Jones Jr. slam. After three, Pacers are up 106-88. Ugh. – 10:27 PM

Mavericks got a ton of work to do if they want to pull this out. Down 99-86 with 1:56 left in the third. – 10:24 PM

Everything going the Pacers’ way in the 3Q, outscoring the Mavs 19-6 to grow their lead to 17.
You’re seeing the energy and joy begin to return to the Pacers. – 10:13 PM

Josh Green’s illegal screen on Nesmith upgraded to a Flagrant 1. Pacers up by 12 early in the 3Q. And Haliburton is starting to find his offensive rhythm. – 10:07 PM

It didn’t work, but like how the first play in the 3Q appeared to be set up for Siakam, who was held to 4pts on 4 FGAs in the first half. – 9:56 PM

A defense optional 1st half for both Mavs & Pacers as IND leads 74-70. Both teams have great offenses, but no resistance from defense as IND shoots 60%. Mavs Shoot 55.3%. Turner 20 (14 in 1st). Mathurin 14 (all in 2nd) for IND. Luka 28, PJ 15 for Mavs 2nd half soon @971TheFreak – 9:49 PM

Dallas’ defensive woes continue. Indiana shoots 60% in the first half and takes a 74-70 lead.
It’s the second-most points the Mavericks have allowed in a first half this season, behind the 77 that Orlando scored on Jan. 29. – 9:41 PM

Running with the Pacers seems like asking for trouble. But the Mavericks are only down 74-70 at halftime. Luka has 28, P.J. Washington 15 and Kyrie Irving 11. Myles Turner has 20 for Indiana, Ben Mathurin 14. It’s not exactly a defensive clinic, but it is entertaining. – 9:41 PM

It was a high-scoring first half, the Pacers holding a 74-70 edge on the Mavs.
Turner led the Pacers with 20 and Mathurin has 14. Haliburton up to 8asts. Bench is +26.
Luka leads all with 28pts. – 9:41 PM

Luka is in a zone, just hoopin’. He has 24 of the Mavs’ 55 and could be headed for a fourth straight triple-double.
Pacers’ bench has been productive, but they need more from Haliburton and Siakam. – 9:24 PM

Maybe that will get Hardaway going: A gorgeous alley-oop to Gafford, followed by a Hardaway 3 that bounced softly around the rim and dropped through the hoop.
After one quarter: Indiana 35, Dallas 32. – 9:08 PM

Rick Carlisle wins the coach’s challenge and the call is reversed to a block on Daniel Gafford. Two free throws for Miles Turner give him 13 points and the Pacers a 23-22 lead with 5:01 to go in the opening quarter. First one to 140 wins this one. – 8:57 PM

Carlisle using a challenge VERY early — 5:01 1Q — because it’s Nesmith’s second foul. And it’s straightforward.
It didn’t take long. Daniel Gafford was very clearly in the restricted area under the basket. And he’s called for the foul. – 8:55 PM

Myles Turner grew up a Mavs fan and always plays well back home. Happens every year.
He has 9 of their first 13pts, but Carlisle already used an early timeout. – 8:50 PM
