The Pacers picked up their 35th win in Dallas. A big third quarter, nine of 10 players scored in double figures and Luka Doncic's big night was not enough.
the fact that this is TEAM game not an individual game (like tennis or golf) is what wins for the Pacers this year. When everyone is involved and engaged they do well. In the Pascal era it seems like he's the main focus and the rest of the team is put on the back burner. Look at who gets interviews, sent to the podium, who the ball stops with. He gets the ball and it becomes iso ball, not Pacer ball. Also a two man game Pascal & Hali needs supporting cast to function, like last night. Opponent stars can shine but if they don't have the support of a TEAM they can't carry the full load.
