Even in the 41st minute, D. Sabonis scored 25 points (6/11 dvit., 3/4 trit., 4/9 penalty), grabbed 10 balls, made 4 assists, blocked the opponent’s shot, made four errors and he made a mistake.
The Lithuanian, who already has fourteen double-doubles in a row at the start of the season, has improved his own Pacers record.
In the last season, 2019-2020, D. Sabonis recorded a double-double in 13 consecutive games, so he has now registered a new highest achievement in the history of the organization, which counts more than four decades.
The Lithuanian, who hit three 3s, did so for the first time wearing a Pacers jersey. Sabonis fired more long-range shots only in the rookie season in the Oklahoma City Thunder jersey, when he scored 4 points three times and 3 points three times while playing away from the basket.
Although D. Sabonis played well from the start of the game and scored 9 points in the first half alone, the Pacers lagged behind their rivals for most of the game.
Already in the first quarter, their deficit was 13 points (17:30), and the Indians managed to catch up with the Dallas guests after a long break, when in the third quarter they finally weighed the result for the first time – 70:67 .
The Pacers also held a minimal lead in the fourth quarter (94:93), but then the Mavericks took a decisive momentum.
While D. Sabonis was sitting on the bench, the Mavs scored 8 unanswered points and split (101: 94), and even when the Lithuanian returned to the square, the image in the square did not change and the guests regained an advantage of double digits: 115: 103. Although the Pacers tried to recreate the intrigue, they failed and the Runners lost for the second time in a row.
The Dallas club was led to victory by a European duo. Kristapas Porzingis was the most productive player of the game with 27 points (11/12 doubles, 1/3 trit., 2/2 penalties) and 13 rebounds, and Luka Dončičius posted his 30th career triple-double – 13 points (5 / 12 doubles, 0/3 shots, 3/4 penalty), 12 rebounds and 12 assists.
The Pacers played Myles Turner, who suffered an arm injury and had missed a second straight game, but took Jeremy Lambo after a long break.
2020 In February, the forward, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury in his knee, came on the court from the bench and scored 10 points in 19 minutes (3/6 round trip, 1/2 trit., 1 / 1 penalty).
The Pacers, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference, will play the next game Friday night through Saturday, when they host the Orlando Magic at home.
