Seeking their first three-game winning streak of the season, the Pacers are squaring off against Rick Carlisle’s former team, the Dallas Mavericks, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight. However, Carlisle will not be in attendance tonight due to the league’s health and safety protocols. Assistant coach Lloyd Pierce is the acting head coach in his place.
Nonetheless, the Pacers appear up for the challenge. After two quarters, the squad is taking a 56-54 lead into the locker room at halftime. Myles Turner is leading the way for the Pacers with 12 and six rebounds, including a late triple that earned a Pacers lead just before the break.
