Dallas Mavericks vs Indiana Pacers Full Highlights 1st QTR | Mar. 5 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

Well it that was a good shock dog game within the game segment from skin and that is wild Devon to see a stretch where they were the best and now a stretch where they were the worst and I think to Skin’s point if they just hit a

Happy medium that would that would be really good for this team I would agree and the way they play offense and how efficient they are they don’t need to be as good defensively they just have to be so so and you see as Lucas scores the

First bucket of the game you can’t give up 130 on a night basis and expect to be successful gave up 133 last week against Indiana and lost by 2 two the Mavericks open the game with that Luca donic short jumper his first two points the NBA’s

Leading score at 34 and a half points a game Nim hard not shooting it well lately but overall this year NIMH hard has a high field goal percentage gets a lot of shots around the basket like that luuka three ball over Miles Turner that is no

Walk in the park obviously to shoot over him no it is not and that’s a good sign for luuka getting going early on now they just got to get some stops here to get that momentum going nimart off the screen by mil Turner looking to answer

Back LCA made a three over him Turner’s three is no good a trip Kyrie Irving went down got tangled up with n Smith and a screen and roll and halber the pocket pass Turner the spin and liely is an early I would surmise that in the not too distant

Future we will see Dan Gafford NIMH hard frontting they still find Luca then his pass goes off the backboard that was a noisy Ricochet off the backboard he’ll learned from that in one day pass to himself off the rim we’ve seen a lot of that off the backboard lately yeah loader by Tyrese

Halberton and the Pacers lead for the first time of the game Mavericks run off the ma basket Josh Green up ahead PJ Washington puts it down Luca guarded by Aon n Smith nice pass pass to Washington on the short roll in the lane his confidence is growing offensively you can just see it

Where to be on the floor those floaters three-point shooting averaging 18 a game over the last three contests PJ Washington here’s halberton with a three-point jumper over living good Contest out there on the perimeter for the big man especially given the foul situation that we have

Already noted for three on the money PJ Washington is released that’s good dein good backs spin he’s squared up it’s good looking shot coming from Charlotte we knew he could score the basketball the question was will he be able to defend I have no doubt that he’s going

To find and be that consistent third third score that they’ve been looking for now Pascal SE yakum over to Turner Lively closes out nard couldn’t find Turner Halbert clogged Lane he tries to drive Neman L clock situation this is good defense forcing a tough shot Luca with the defensive rebound that’s

The way it’s got to be more often than not for this team defending like that on these possessions three minutes gone by in the game Mavs in front by four Luca puts up a shot thought he got fouled ball out of bounds and the Mavs Tred To First missed shot of the game for the Mavs here’s Turner and his three up top is good such a tough cover he can pick and pop he can pick and roll you know he’s a lob threat Kyrie for three and he joins the party with Luca and PJ Washington both

Of whom already have five now Lucas or Kyrie’s first basket that is and the Mavs up their advantage to four again halberton almost lost it Turner does lose it let’s cook up ahead to Kyrie on the pass by Luca Kyrie one man pass break Luka take over but I think right

Now with the team is nobody can wait no waiting is not an option now have lost four out of five Turner well the more things change the more they stay the same Miles Turner Has Come Out Swinging and already has seven for four from Luca couple of makes by

Kyrie and PJ and Dallas in front by six halberton to Turner Turner Again Turner come on coming off a 16-point 10 rebound game against San Antonio on Sunday when the Pacers lost to the Spurs free throw line jumper that’s no good for Kyrie it’s kept away from Lively by SE yakum and then halberton claims the carum on the Move

Here’s SE yakum they fak the dribble handoff but Luca defends it well we’re about five minutes gone by in this game pull up by Tyrese halberton two-time Allstar who is a leape birthday born on February 29th ability to pop to three and then it opens up halberton operate

With the mid-range Jay tried to tell him me that Tyrese halberton is the best seven-year-old yes that’s what I’m telling you that is exactly what I’m telling you Miles Turner in the paint I’m dying to know who number two is Daniel gaffard is into the game so Lively survived almost four full

Minutes playing with two early fouls Kyrie guarded by Andrew nimart jab stepping puts it down spin collectively have nine Luca a drive and kick swing pass by Jones three-point shots PJ Washington buries it say about his release yes right it’s looking like it’s he’s finishing the follow through is

There and he’s shooting it with so much confidence over to Turner Mavericks rotate nce Smith chased off the line you don’t want him shooting threes you want him driving that was his coach Rick car come on his teammate dein Harris couple of Wisconsin guys on the Mavs

Together I mean Rick needed to challenge that n Smith gets in foul trouble often he’s fifth in the league in fouls per game at 3.3 a game and he was about to have a second but The Challenge and the call was and then Daniel gaffard climbs

The ladder to catch the oop from Luca and throw it down landlord is right on time yes he is he’s collecting checks and there he is grabbing a rebound gap for the defensive rebound Turner is putting up a lot of shots oh Luca he does it again everything went right there

Everything was so much fun but the shot didn’t go down Halbert back to Miles Turner Turner down the edge of the lane great move and he Ducks around gaffard does not Ben Shepard who had a career best 15 against the Mavs last week he’s been out the last couple of

Games with an injury Shepard picked up Hardaway in the back court now Hardaway chased off the line by Shephard after Luca finds him on a pass contested jumper off the rim and off the glass and down into the hands of hel Smith screens for halberton now finally n Smith will have a three-point

Opportunity he’s fifth in the league n Smith is almost 45% on threes this year Luca goes right at Obi toen deflected pass out to clei felt good about that cuz he got some air up under it to toen that is Obie toppen runs the floor [Applause] they’re a team that can score pretty

Quick in a lot of different ways those [Applause] Pacers DJ McConnell has come in Off the Bench along with Jaylen Smith 43 Hardway way short Tim coming off a one for eight game against Philadelphia in 15 minutes on Sunday afternoon second an offensive rating and their offense is look

Dynamite here in the first quarter full on display yep inside outside big guys guards CA no kept Alive by Gafford finds hard away too much on it just tell he’s pressing right now he’s kind of out of sorts needs to see a few go in and kind

Of get that confidence back a nice Breakaway layup would be tasty some free throws no no no and 34% from the floor 31% from the three-point line over the last 14 games here’s Smith yeah good defense Insight against Daniel gaffer got exm on the move and exom will

Not have to carry the entire load of setup responsibilities and playmaking responsibilities in that time on the four Ben sheeper for three Irving on the close out and Shephard who was lights out against Dallas last week the best game of his young career and players he was good the Sunday before last against

The MS had a double double 14 Points 11 rebounds also five assists open three for Cleveland and fouled on the way back up couldn’t power it over the rim but he was fouled throws gafford’s only shot attempt from the floor was an alley finish from Luca Five Point Pacers

Lead Dallas and Indiana have split their season series for five streaks season trying to make it six in a row that is the optimal scenario obviously for the MS who need a win tonight having Dro four their last five really like the communication on that last defensive possession by the

Mavs great pass better finish collects it with one hand and hammers it home KY gambl goes after the steel recovers to pick up Shephard who receives a second pass in that sequence nice and then McConnell just over penetrates into a crowd here’s Hardaway pull up three get in there do go in

There he needed it he needed it it wasn’t the exact way he probably expected it a little bit unorthodox but at this point who cares man it’s three on the board for Timmy TJ McConnell a rare three-point shot just six out of 22 this year now shot it quick and with

Confidence well that was a good old two for one that was my that was a Devon special ex him out to Irving for a corner three I wish that they Kip stats in your playing career on who shot the most two for one field I did but D also let me

Know my percentage was not that good either stop stop doing that we had your back we always do I’m like hey it’s the only shout out might getting in the first quarter I got to take it now here’s Kyrie to beat the buzzer at the end of the first long

Launch is no good TJ McConnell his attempt is late and the first quarter is over
