NEW DELHI: The Indiana Pacers delivered an impressive 133-111 victory over the visiting Dallas Mavericks, with Myles Turner leading the charge with a season-high 33 points and eight rebounds. The win marked the Pacers' third consecutive victory, demonstrating their strength and cohesion on the court.
Indiana received significant contributions from multiple players, including Tyrese Haliburton, who recorded a double-double with 17 points and 10 assists. Andrew Nembhard and Ben Sheppard also made notable contributions with 15 points each, while Bennedict Mathurin showcased his versatility with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Pascal Siakam and T.J. McConnell added 12 points apiece, further bolstering the Pacers' offensive output.
Despite a strong performance from Luka Doncic, who led the Mavericks with 33 points, and Kyrie Irving, who contributed 29 points, Dallas saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end. Josh Green chipped in with 14 points, while Tim Hardaway Jr. provided 11 points off the bench for the Mavericks.
The game featured back-and-forth action, with Indiana ultimately seizing control in the second half.
