The Dallas Mavericks took on the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, the second game of the season for both teams.

It was a tale of two games for the Mavericks, who were down 32 at halftime on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets, but found themselves up by 34 at halftime of this game.

Everything was rolling for the Mavs. At the break, they were 10/19 from three, had 6 turnovers to the Pacers' 13, and had 8 steals.

One of those steals led to an open fastbreak for Cooper Flagg, but a hard foul from behind by Pacers wing Aaron Nesmith sent Flagg to the ground, landing hard on his left shoulder.

As Flagg was lying on the ground, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington ran up from halfcourt and confronted Nesmith, with Marshall shoving him. The foul was upgraded to a Flagrant Foul Penalty 1, while both Nesmith and Marshall were assessed a technical foul.
