Dallas Mavericks vs Indiana Pacers Full Highlights 4th QTR | Mar. 5 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

Bench that has not happened tonight a lot of turnovers as well and you know coming out of halftime just not the energy to be matched against his team and enabl that you know big third quarter have to figure away figure out a way to dig themselves out of a hole

Kyrie Irving starts shoveling with the three-pointer that he makes from the left side of the floor 10691 Indiana Irving open is the third quarter with a three the Mavericks did not make a or only made one three I’m sorry in the third quarter that’s a ball thrown away by the

Pacers almost Solen by Gafford but in the unfortunate that he didn’t touch it because it was on its way to being out of bounds off the Pacers and it was nice rebound by Obi topper after Kyrie miss a three scoop that up McConnell blowing and going finds Ben Shepard corner three

Is good just an easy offense instant Pace Kyrie’s thirdd three-point attempt to the four two of them have gone in sandwiched around a miss the Kyrie open the fourth with a three ball and possession three of the fourth is another one McConnell guarded by Jones gaffer closes out on Jaylen Smith

Shepard is picked up by Irving he was trying to float out for another three mine in a late clock situation backs up for space to operate moves across the floor If he if he had made that really like that defensive possession all the way around both sides of the floor

Rolling Tower of Power [Applause] Daniel a basket Shaker by the big man from ELO Arkansas explosive move Obi toen this is going to be all about stops and momentum after getting one or two stops consecutively making them feel fresher deard rolling again for five he is feasting and beasting

Inside now can you combine that with a stop they can’t be to yeah he used that three-point line to sucker and then go right at The Rim tell you he’s a tough cover Deon because as I said earlier topen leads the league in two-point percentage at 68 12% and then tack onto

That that he shoots over 40% on threes McConnell no good and then it is pinballing out that’s brutal man McConnell will do that M for three back bre that hurts that’s a back breaker McConnell is always a lurking presence in the back I mean in a lot of

Situations that’s just a harmless bump of teammates in the back court and right and you don’t have a lost ball because of it but McConnell steals it because of his willingness for of the cosmic basketball lottery right now and get this thing turned around seven game winning streak a distant memory

Unfortunately they’ve lost four of five and five of six is something they are very much in Jeopardy of seeing happen right now as McConnell continues this stretch for the Indiana bench where they are really putting their stamp on the game I mean they are conceding nothing in terms of ground on the

Scoreboard to re to reiterate this is all by bench guys right now on the floor for the Pacers McConnell made a three earlier in the game and another one he only has seven of them all year now he’s killing the Maverick he’s killing him he’s talking to Rick he’s yelling at him yeah

He’s letting him know PJ Washington for three big basket good [Applause] answer McConnell 31 years old came into tonight’s game five of 21 this year on threes and he has taken two and made them both 13 points for him M over to OB toing up fake Lake clock pass

Out Ma has to shoot it Pacers still at almost 56% for the floor in this game I mean League average is up around 1.2 turnovers per turnover fors 1.2 points off turnovers fors and it’s over two points off turnovers fors for the Pacers tonight Ben Shepard has looked like Steph Curry in

Two games over 620 left in the game halberton back in sheer through the defense and another SWAT by G nope and he gave it the double finger [Applause] wag 4 three halberton out hey that was a big close out by Gafford on the shooter out there on the

Perimeter step back three no good kept the line by Gafford Nim hard to it first now seak trying to beat everyone down the floor which he does another opportunity created fast break standpoint you don’t get that loose ball and he give up a layup on the other

End Luca has his fourth straight 30 point triple double 39 points 10 rebounds 10 assists got another assist coming here on the slam dunk by gaffard and look the numbers are nice the stats are fun for us to talk about but but Luca ain’t about that

Now in it to win it and 30o triple doubles are you know again they’re fun for us but they’re no fun when L’s are happening to go along with them halberton to Shepard oh my goodness Ben Shepard quick trigger Too it’s just imperative that you close out hard on these shooters and run them off the three-point line they’re Mass cing you right now his best two scoring games this year are the two games against Dallas over the course of the last week halberton faked to pass shoots a three Kyrie the long

Rebound DJ Washington trailing the play for three part of the way down spins out get into the territory where you got to start playing perfect yep yep you know you have to get every stop you have to score every time down cakam has milked a little clock on

This possession and then drives and finishes smoothly time I thought that was I thought that was really evident in the in the game against Indiana last week Rick was like you know defended him in such a way that he’s not going to beat me with the pass right and set

Everybody else up in perfect positions Washington for three out of a timeout comes it and sad to report that uh play significantly emptied out at that 420 timeout with the Mavs staring at a 19point deficit on their home floor where they’re playing three games this week and much like Indiana was able

To salvage a game out of their three- game Road Trip starting with two losses and on their way to a win tonight the Mavericks will be in Solage mode in many ways but specifically as it relates to their three-game home stand when they play the heat on Thursday dro the game to the

Pacers dropped the game to the 76ers prior to this this one of course still 319 from being official Lawson and Powell among those about to go into the game from the Dallas side of the coin PJ Washington with a hook shot in the paint which will put him at 20 for the night

Since Indiana beat Dallas last week they lost a home game the next night to the Raptors they beat the Pelicans in a home game then lost to the Pelicans in a road game and as we noted lost to San Antonio on Sunday night as well so it was three

Out of four losses since beating Dallas him inside go third quarter yakum and the bench as well yeah the collective bench performance early in the fourth quarter when not only did they not concede ground I mean they they built they continue to build the lead Halton again coming to life after

Not making a three at all in the first two games of the road trip has been good tonight overall shooting is eight for 15 it’s not a great three-point shooting game for him but he has made an offensive read but you can’t get uh deject didn’t let off that

Defensive energy when things aren’t going your way you’ve got to stick to that and really important to clear the defensive boards they gave up some key Second Chances when they were forcing stops in the second quarter yeah I thought that was a pivotal stretch of the game when Indiana converted on four

Offensive rebounds in the opening 6 seven minutes in the second quarter also think you can’t let allow your offense hello wow how you’re paying on the offensive end of the floor affect your defense right we saw them come out Miss some shots early in that third quarter feel

Like they’re really affected how they defended the rest of that that stretch well the pacy AJ Lawson swiftly up the floor to finish Ben Shepard now SE yakum offensive rebound caught between two minds whether to shoot or pass Andrew NIMH hard he hits a three with

NIMH hard making a three for the Pacers unfortunately for the map and from the Dallas side of things how inefficiently your defense performs yeah and Indiana really moves the ball they make all the right decisions when they’re whipping that thing around but not only from a passing standpoint but a body standpoint

And knowing Rick the way that I do you know guys are cutting hard everything’s done at a high pace which makes it even tougher to you could teach a class right now it would be like an upper level undergraduate class at least the class that you have in terms of being able to

Speak what you could teach in terms of being able to speak Rick what university offers that uh Virginia okay good answer yes yes maybe they’ll put that in the uh catalog at Wisconsin yeah no Professor Harris with his first class 137

  1. Luka plays zero effort on defense, reminds me of 2017 Russ and 2019 Harden. Empty stats
