A tense fourth quarter turned into a jubilant overtime for the Indiana Pacers, who did all they could to give up a late lead, eventually allowing the Dallas Mavericks to force overtime with an open three at the end of regulation. In the overtime period, the Pacers used an 8-0 run, including back-to-back three pointers from Myles Turner and Paul George, and a breakaway dunk from Turner to close out Dallas to start 1-0.
Turner led the way for the Pacers with 30 points and 16 rebounds, going 13-19 from the floor with four blocks.
