Dallas will be seeking revenge for the Pacers' 110-98 victory on thanksgiving. It stopped the Mavs' perfect start at 14-0, one game shy of tying the all-time record.
pacers have been on an offensive surge of late, averaging 101.1 points in the last 10 games and 109.0 in the last three. They rank fourth overall in scoring (98.5), field-goal percentage (.457) and 3-point percentage (.384) and are fifth in assists (22.8). Their balance was on full display in a 10-point victory over Philadelphia on Sunday when all five starters scored at least 18 points. Six players are averaging double-figures and a seventh could soon be added to that list if Jamaal Tinsley (9.8) continues to come on strong.
My juices are flowing for this one. I can only imagine the level of adrenaline that we’ll see from these two teams. They’ve been the best in their conferences all season long thus far, and both will be intent on proving that again in this game.
