Anthony Davis Injured, But Mavs Beat Pacers 107-105

In this episode we recap the Mavs’ 107-105 nail-biting win over the injury-riddled Indiana Pacers. A team which the Mavs have struggled to beat in years past played one of the weaker rosters you will see in an NBA game, and the Mavs took advantage. We discuss how the Mavs looked after Anthony Davis exited the game in the 1st Quarter with a lower left leg injury, and how playing guards like Brandon Williams and D’Angelo Russell got the offense going. We talk about the advantages that budding an offense around playmaking creates, and why despite making just five 3-pointers tonight, the Mavs’ offense looked better without AD. We also talk about what AD’s injury could mean for this team if he misses extended time, and why it keeps bringing back the burning big-picture questions about the Mavericks going forward.
