The Pacers (31-19) dropped their second straight home game on Monday night, falling to the Dallas Mavericks (31-19) at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, 112-103.
Even without their All-Star point guard Luka Doncic, the Mavericks rained a barrage of 3-pointers on Indiana on Monday night. The Mavericks went 18-for-45 from beyond the arc, with 7-foot-3 center Kristaps Porzingis hitting six treys by himself in a 38-point, 12-rebound performance.
All-Star forward Domantas Sabonis had 26 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists for Indiana, but it wasn't quite enough as the Blue & Gold suffered another disappointing defeat.
The Pacers got off to a fast start offensively on Monday, jumping out to an early 9-4 lead and connecting on eight of their first 13 attempts.
