After a thrilling walk off overtime win Wednesday night, capped by an emphatic Braxton Key putback dunk, the Dallas Mavericks entered Friday night’s contest with the Indiana Pacers in the hunt for a spot in the Summer League playoffs.
Dallas was without key contributors Jaden Hardy (left shoulder contusion), McKinley Wright IV (left ankle sprain) and Key, who signed a two-way contract with the Denver Nuggets. It didn’t slow them down.
The Mavs cruised to a needed win, beating the Pacers, 112-91.
The Mavericks carried over their momentum from Wednesday’s win through the first half of the game, taking a 48-33 lead thanks to double-digit scoring contributions from Jordan “Jelly” Walker and Olivier-Maxence Prosper, who had 15 and 13 points, respectively.
