The Pacers continued their long road trip in Dallas. It is always homecoming for Myles Turner, and he put on a show tonight. In the first quarter, Turner rattled off 8 quick points to set the tone for the Pacers and had 4 blocks during the contest.

With the later start time, I’m sure many Pacers fans will be waking up to see the box score and wish they had watched the game. Speaking of the box score, look at the free throw numbers tonight for the Blue and Gold. 31-40 from the charity stripe, and they needed every one of them by the end of the game.

The free throw numbers are a good sign for the Pacers, showing they were being aggressive against the Mavericks. They needed to have a game like this to continue the road trip. It’s crunch time for the fate of the season, and the Pacers rose up tonight for a terrific victory 124-122.

Also, did you see the team practice at Buddy Hield’s home gym? What a cool idea for some team bonding.
