The Dallas Mavericks kicked off the upcoming two game road trip with a pitiful showing in Indiana against one of the Eastern Conference’ elite in the Indiana Pacers.
After hanging tight in the first quarter, the Pacers were able to push their lead to as many as 18 thanks in large part to the Mavericks shooting a paltry 30 percent connecting on only seven of their 23 attempts.
Dallas was able to stay within a reasonable distance in the third quarter, but the team essentially received the final nail in the coffin when Luka Doncic received his second technical foul of the game by kicking the ball into the stands, resulting in an ejection.
