INDIANAPOLIS – A little rest appears to have done wonders for Kristaps Porzingis.
The Mavericks’ power forward returned after getting a rest day on Saturday and completely dominated the Indiana Pacers Monday.
Porzingis poured in a season-best 36 points to go with 10 rebounds to lead the Mavericks to a hard-fought 112-103 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
It was the Mavericks’ second win in a row after losing two consecutive last week. Porzingis was simply unstoppable and he got lots of help from Tim Hardaway Jr. with 25 points and Dorian Finney-Smith with 15 points and 10 rebounds – plus a key 3-pointer down the stretch.
