over Pacers
DALLAS (AP) --- Cooper Flagg had 43 points and 10 rebounds and Kyrie Irving
scored 35 while completing a back-to-back for the first time this season as the
Dallas Mavericks rallied past the Indiana Pacers 125-122 on Monday night.
P.J. Washington Jr. could have extended the Dallas lead with four seconds left
but missed both free throws, with Indiana's Obi Toppin grabbing the rebound.
The Pacers' final possession ended with Dallas' Caleb Martin tipping away a
pass by Andrew Nembhard near the sideline. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle expressed
his displeasure with the game officials at midcourt that a Dallas foul wasn't
called.
Flagg had a season-high in scoring while Irving tied for his season best. They
combined to score 26 points in the fourth quarter --- including Dallas' first
13 --- as the Mavericks outscored the Pacers 35-29.
Irving, in action this season after missing 19 months with a torn ACL, played
28 minutes in Sunday night's 130-93 rout of Brooklyn and a season-high 38
minutes against Indiana after sitting out the second game of the Mavericks'
first back-to-back 2 weeks ago. He hit a season-high seven 3-pointers.
Dallas (7-4) swept a three-game homestand and is three games over .500 for the
first time since March 1, 2025 (at 32-29).
Flagg has four straight double-doubles and five this season.
The Pacers (3-8) were led by Pascal Siakam with 29 points, but only three of
those were scored in the second half. Aaron Nesmith scored 18 points with two
of his four 3-pointers coming in the final minute.
Siakam hit 8 of 9 from the floor during the first half, including 5 of 6 behind
the arc, plus 5 of 6 from the line for 26 points. He was the lone Pacer in
double figures in building a 13-point lead that was 66-56 at halftime.
