It’s a difficult end to the season for the Indiana Pacers, Quebecer Bennedict Mathurin’s team.
On Monday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, the Pacers were beaten 127-104 to the Dallas Mavericks. This is the third loss in a row for the team playing in Indianapolis. It is also the fifth setback in his last six appearances.
In the duel of the day, Mathurin was the best on his team. Raised in Montreal North, the player had 26 points, four rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes and was his coach’s most-used player.
However, the dominant player in this duel was the star of the “Mavs” Luka Doncic. The Slovenian point guard had 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists. He was joined by Jaden Hardy, who scored a remarkable 20 points. Kyrie Irving didn’t miss out with his 16 points.
Mathurin and the Pacers return to action Wednesday night. On this occasion, they are visited by the mighty Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s team tops the NBA standings.
