Pacers-Mavericks Preview

By ALAN FERGUSON
Posted Mar 28 2013 1:09AM

Dirk Nowitzki and his Dallas Mavericks teammates pledged earlier this season not to shave until the team returned to the .500 mark.

The Mavericks are close to getting their razors ready and will try to even their record for the first time in 3 1/2 months with Thursday night's visit from a surging Indiana Pacers team that's approaching full health.

With nine wins in the last 12 contests, Dallas is now within one game of .500 for the first time since it was 11-11 on Dec. 12. The Mavericks (35-36) are also making a considerable push for a 13th consecutive playoff berth, now sitting just 1 1/2 games behind the eighth-place Los Angeles Lakers after beginning March five games out of postseason position.

"We've been fighting to get to (.500). I feel like we're playing our basketball. The boys are playing well and better off each other," Nowitzki said. "It's a good time to play your best basketball. We'll see how far we can take it.

"I'm ready to get this (beard) off. It's a big outing for us Thursday against a very tough team. That'll be a big game for us."

Beating Indiana would give the Mavericks their longest home winning streak of the season at four. Dallas improved to 3-1 on its six-game homestand Tuesday with a 109-102 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Nowitzki had eight of his season-high 33 points in the extra period, and was among six Dallas players to score in double figures.

"We've got to find a way to win those close games. We've been doing a lot better the last two weeks or so," Nowitzki said. "We've found a decent mixture the last couple of weeks of leadership and playing well together. Hopefully, we can keep it up."

The Pacers (45-27) haven't had David West for the last six games due to a sprained lower back, but they earned their fifth win in that stretch Wednesday, 100-91 in Houston, behind Roy Hibbert's season-high 28 points and 13 rebounds.

"This was Roy Hibbert's best overall game," coach Frank Vogel said. "And with David West out, we needed him to score more and be more of a post presence and he was terrific on the offensive end as well."

Hibbert may not have to do nearly as much Thursday. West is expected to return against the Mavericks as is Danny Granger, who has missed all but five games this season but should be available to come off the bench down the stretch.

West had 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting and Paul George scored 30 in the most recent visit to Dallas, a 98-87 win on Feb. 3, 2012. The victory snapped the Pacers' seven-game skid at the American Airlines Center.

Nowitzki had 30 points in the loss and is averaging 27.4 over his last 14 matchups with Indiana, his best performance against any opponent since the beginning of the 2004-05 season. He didn't played in the Pacers' 103-83 win on Nov. 16 in Indianapolis.

Lance Stephenson was one of six Pacers in double figures in that contest, finishing with 12, and he had a season-high 21 points Wednesday after missing a game with a strained hip flexor.

The win in Houston kept Indiana five games ahead of Chicago in the Central Division and tied with New York for the second seed in the Eastern Conference.

George, Pacers topple Mavericks 103-78

Posted Mar 29 2013 12:22AM

DALLAS (AP) Paul George and Indiana Pacers went on an offensive surge in the third quarter to sink the Dallas Mavericks.

However, all Pacers coach Frank Vogel could talk about was his top-ranked defense.

George had 24 points and eight rebounds and the Pacers broke open a close game in the third quarter to beat the Mavericks 103-78 on Thursday night.

With the game tied at half, the Pacers outscored the Mavericks 34-17 in the third. George had eight points in a 20-5 run to open the second half.

Vogel said his team's defense allowed Indiana to pull away in the second half.

"Our defensive effort keeps getting better and better," Vogel said. "I'm very impressed with how dialed in our guys are and how disciplined they're playing on the defensive end."

The Central Division-leading Pacers won their fourth straight and have a half-game lead for the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.

Indiana is 2-0 on a four-game Western Conference trip. The Pacers beat the Houston Rockets 100-91 on Wednesday night.

"It was great win," George said. "For us to come out and match their same intensity was huge, especially on their floor."

Dirk Nowitzki scored 21 points for Dallas, which remained 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Lakers in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

"Having a dud like this on our home floor is definitely disheartening," Dallas center Elton Brand said.

Nowitzki and five of his teammates have grown out beards since early February and vowed not to shave until the Mavericks (35-37) got back to .500.

Those unshaven Mavericks will have to put their razors away for at least a few more days as Indiana denied Dallas a chance to even its record for the first time since Dec. 12.

Pacers center Roy Hibbert didn't want the Mavericks to pull out the clippers just yet.

"We heard something about them wanting to shave or doing something like that," Hibbert said. "We wanted to shut that (stuff) down to begin with. They wanted to get to .500 so they gave us their best effort in the first half. Whatever gimmick they need to rally themselves, that's fine."

Hibbert had 16 points and 11 rebounds one night after scoring a season-high 28 against Houston, and Tyler Hansbrough added 13 points and nine rebounds off the bench for Indiana, which announced before the game that former All-Star forward Danny Granger will have season-ending left knee surgery.

David West scored seven points in his return for the Pacers after missing six games with a lower back strain.

The Pacers outrebounded the Mavericks 55-34 and scored 15 second chance points. Dallas suffered its 11th loss of 20 points or more this season.

"It was a wipeout for us as far as the rebounding," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said. "That's been a challenge for us."

George Hill hit a 3-pointer to start the second half and break a 41-all halftime tie.

George hit a 21-footer to push Indiana's lead to 49-42. Indiana closed the 20-5 run with a couple of layups from Hill and a jumper from Ian Mahinmi to make it 61-46 midway through the third.

George scored 13 points in the third. He finished 10 of 17 from the field and had six assists and three steals.

Mahinmi closed the third with a dunk off a pass from Orlando Johnson as the Pacers outscored the Mavericks 34-17 in the third.

Vince Carter had 14 points and Darren Collison added 10 or Dallas. The Mavericks shot 38.6 percent (32 of 83) against the NBA's top-scoring defense.

Dallas, which got no closer than 10 points in the fourth, dropped to 3-2 on its six-game homestand. The Mavericks close out their longest home stay of the season Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, who ended Miami's 27-game winning streak Wednesday night.

NOTES: The Mavericks fell to 10-5 in March. ... The Pacers have held 10 straight opponents under 100 points. ... Justin Dentmon made his first appearance for Dallas after signing a 10-day contract Monday.

Notebook: Pacers 103, Mavericks 78

Dave Ivey, for NBA.com
Posted Thu Mar 28, 2013 11:50 PM - Updated Thu Mar 28, 2013 11:50 PM

THE FACTS: The Dallas Mavericks were hoping for a close shave Thursday. Instead they got sliced apart by the Indiana Pacers, 103-78, at the American Airlines Center. Paul George scored 24 points and Roy Hibbert added 16 points and 11 rebounds to power the Pacers (46-27) to their third consecutive win and sixth in seven games.

The lopsided loss prevented the Mavericks (35-37) from reaching the .500 mark for the first time since mid-December, an achievement that would have allowed lumberjack lookalikes Dirk Nowitzki, O.J. Mayo, Elton Brand, Vince Carter and Chris Kaman to trim their so-called ".500 beards." More importantly, Dallas failed to gain any ground on the Lakers (37-36) or Jazz (36-36) in the battle for the eighth seed in the West. Nowitzki was the only Dallas starter in double figures with 21 points.

QUOTABLE: "I think he's, right now, approaching being a top 12 or 15 player in this league, which means he's a top 12 or 15 player in the world. I think he's that good."
-- Dallas coach Rick Carlisle on George, who was 10-for-17 and added eight rebounds, six assists and three steals.

THE STAT: The Pacers are 31-6 when holding opponents under 90 points (14-1 under 80 points). The Mavericks are 0-10 when scoring fewer than 90 points, although this was their first such game since Feb. 27 and just their second since Dec. 30.

TURNING POINT: Indiana broke open a 41-41 halftime tie by doubling up Dallas in the third. The Pacers scored twice as many points (34-17) and grabbed twice as many rebounds (12-6) in the quarter. They also shot 70 percent (14-for-20) and held the Mavericks to 35 percent (7-for-20).

QUOTABLE II: "Show up."
-- Mavericks forward Shawn Marion on what adjustment Dallas has to make before Saturday's game against Chicago.

QUOTABLE III: "Paul George played like an All-Star. Great win."

-- Pacers coach Frank Vogel.

HOT: The Pacers knocked down 13 of their first 15 shots in the second half, with George scoring 13 points and capping that stretch with a 3-pointer for a 72-54 lead with 2:38 left in the third.

NOT: Nowitzki was 4-for-6 in the first quarter, but the rest of the Mavericks were a combined 4-for-17. ... The starting Dallas backcourt of Mayo and Mike James were a combined 3-for-17 in the game with three turnovers.

BAD MOVE: After missing Tuesday's win against the Clippers (coach's decision), center Kaman may have moved even deeper into the Dallas doghouse. In just 3:57 off the bench, he picked up two personal fouls and one technical foul and was a minus-11.

FANTASY SPOTLIGHT: After missing six games with a sprained lower back, Pacers forward David West returned to the starting lineup with seven points, seven rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes. He was 3-for-8 from the field and 1-for-4 at the line.

INSIDE THE ARENA: Backup Indiana center Ian Mahinmi received a warm reception from the crowd in Dallas, where he played from 2010-12 and helped the Mavericks win the 2011 NBA title.

ROOKIE WATCH: Orlando Johnson had 12 points, four rebounds and three assists off the Indiana bench and was 2-for-5 from behind the arc.

NOTABLE: The Pacers announced Thursday that forward Danny Granger will miss the remainder of the season to undergo surgery on his left knee. "The decision was made after all conservative treatment options could not alleviate the soreness," team officials said in a statement. The former All-Star and NBA Most Improved Player appeared in just five games this season, scoring 27 points. He is expected to be ready for training camp. ... Indiana is 13-7 on the second night of a back-to-back. ... The Pacers are 4-1 on the road against the Southwest Division. ... Former Pacer Darren Collison had 10 points and eight assists off the bench against his old team. ... Indiana is 25-5 when opponents shoot less than 40 percent from the field. ... Former NBA D-League MVP Justin Dentmon made his Dallas debut, playing 3:26 in mop-up time. ... The Pacers dominated the glass, 55-34, and outscored the Mavericks by a 50-34 margin in the paint.

UP NEXT: For the Mavericks, Saturday vs. Chicago, Tuesday @ L.A. Lakers, Thursday @ Denver. For the Pacers, Saturday @ Phoenix, Monday @ L.A. Clippers, April 5 vs. Oklahoma City.
