Dallas Mavericks vs Indiana Pacers | Full Highlights & Recap

C.J. Miles scored the final five Indiana points and had 28 overall Sunday night to give the Pacers a 104-99 victory over Dallas - a win that put them in a tie with Boston for the No. 9 spot in the East. Indiana snapped a four-game home losing streak and won for only the second time in nine games by rallying from a seven-point deficit in the third quarter and going toe-to-toe with the high-scoring Mavericks (45-29) the rest of the night.

Hill scored eight of his 14 points in an 8-2 spurt that broke an 89-89 tie in the fourth. And Miles delivered the knockout punch by making a 3 to give Indiana a 102-97 lead with a minute left. He sealed it with two free throws with 1.7 seconds left.

"They're a good team, they put you in some tough situations," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said about the Pacers. The short-handed Mavericks dealt were dealing their own problems Sunday, too. Leading scorer Monta Ellis missed the game with a lower right leg injury, and backup guard J.J. Berea sat out with a sprained left ankle.

Their teammates tried to make up for those absences. Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points, Rajon Rondo had 17 points and 10 assists, and Chandler Parsons scored 27 points but missed a 3-pointer with 3.9 seconds to go that could have forced overtime.
