This was more of a result of the Mavericks defense. In the second half they began throwing bodies at Siakam the deeper he got, doubling on just about every possession. The Pacers weren’t able to adjust, still had a solid offensive half but they didn’t take advantage of exploiting the double.

This team has no fire man, if there was ever a night to bust this out it was tonight.
Siakam had 3 second half points. Tremendous effort and attention by the Mavericks defense in the second half.
Pacers offense allows teams to put that amount of focus on Siakam. 🚩

Most complete game the Pacers had played until they couldn’t stop fouling in 4Q. Best outings so far from Zu/Oubre. Withstood a lot of shapeshifting. Not good enough to survive Kyrie/Flagg magnet ball. Nesmith came alive. Closed w/ Siakam-Obi. Gave up big OREB. Tough trap call.
Pacers need an elite wing. It’s somewhat ironic that if they had acquired Anunoby when they got Siakam, life would be so god damn sweet right now.

The Pacers have the same win percentage as the Wizards without Ty since he got here. SAME AS THE WIZARDS
I’m not overreacting. I just don’t see how this team can’t figure out how to win without Haliburton.

Second chance points 16-3 in favor of the Mavericks. You don’t win games like that. Awful. #Yescers

Mavericks traded Luka Doncic to be rewarded by getting Cooper Flagg is still one of the most wild things to happen in NBA history. What a gift
Mavericks came out strong in the 3rd. Pacers lead by 3 going into the fourth. Woosah!
