After losing by 31 points to the Kings on Wednesday night, Rick Carlisle and the coaching staff held a team meeting after the game to discuss their effort and poor performance.
Indiana was coming into the matchup looking to start a winning streak after beating the Suns by 15. Coming into the matchup at full strength, the Pacers were looking to ride their star in Paul George.
For Dallas, it’s the continued injury issues that still hinder the team. Missing Andrew Bogut, Dirk Nowitzki, and J.J. Barea, the Mavericks were short-handed once again. The Mavs did welcome Seth Curry back as he had missed the past four games.
