Dialed in from the field

For the second game in a row, the Mavericks are blistering the nets. After throwing in 66 percent of their shots Wednesday at Houston, they are hitting 50 percent against the Pacers and lead 66-54 at halftime. And after Wednesday, 50 percent seems sort of average. The Pacers put together a mild rally late in the first half, knocking 10 points off of what was a 55-33 lead for the Mavericks. The way this thing is going, however, it's hard to see the Mavericks slipping up in the second half. There are too many players playing well and shooting well. Can't see them all going cold in the second half. --Eddie Sefko
