Pacers decimate Mavericks, remain in pursuit atop the Eastern Conference
The Indiana Pacers earned a big win on Saturday at home against Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, winning 111–99.
Doncic has taken center stage of the Rookie of the Year conversation, and it was tonight that featured his first career ejection.
A close first quarter contest didn’t last long as the Pacers took control before halftime and went into the break with a 16-point lead.
Dallas played tight with Indiana the rest of the second half, but not enough to complete the comeback. With the win, Indiana improves to 30–15 on the season while Dallas drops to 20–25.
Also, this loss puts the Mavericks at 4–19 in road games so far this season. Meanwhile, the Pacers improved to 16–6 in their own building.
Next, the Pacers will prepare for a home game against the Hornets tomorrow and the Mavericks will get themselves ready for a showdown in Milwaukee on Monday afternoon.
