Mavericks 107, Pacers 105: Aaron Nesmith missed a game-winning 3-point attempt in the final second after he rebounded RayJ Dennis’ intentionally missed free throw, and the Mavericks (2-3) survived. Cooper Flagg had 15 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Brandon Williams had 20 off the bench. And the Pacers (0-4) still don’t have a win.
