The Mavericks’ problems on this home stand – as well as issues with opponents from the Eastern Conference – continued on Tuesday.
The Mavericks were fighting from behind most of the night and while their late rally gave them a shot at the win in the final seconds, they couldn’t pull it off and fell 124-122 to the Indiana Pacers at American Airlines Center.
The Pacers were ahead by 11 with under six minutes to go. But the Mavericks charged back and got within 121-120. Tyrese Haliburton (32 points) hit one of two free throws with 2:13 to go and both teams couldn’t locate the basket until Haliburton hit two free throws with 19.
