After a sluggish start that saw Dallas trail by 14 points early, the Mavericks clamped down on defense and rode the double-digit scoring of four players to defeat the Indiana Pacers 94-79 and remain perfect through three games at the Orlando Summer League.
The Mavericks, the only undefeated team of the eight playing in Orlando, meet the Oklahoma City Thunder (2-1) at noon Wednesday on NBA TV. Thursday’s final day of play in Orlando will match teams by record to determine a champion.
Mavericks’ 6-foot-8 forward Jameel Warney, a 2016 graduate of Stony Brook who spent last season with the Texas Legends Development League team, led all scorers with 17 points on 7-of-8 shooting from the floor.
