The team's efficiency game score stood at 117.1, indicating their effectiveness on both ends of the court. Their assists turnover ratio was an exceptional 2.77, demonstrating smart ball handling and playmaking abilities.


In contrast to this high-scoring affair was their game against the Charlotte Hornets where they scored a lower total of 102 points but still maintained a solid field goal percentage of 51 percent and an effective field goal percentage of 55 percent. Despite this efficiency, they fell short by nine points in that matchup.

However, it's worth noting that in their most recent games, Indiana has shown resilience and adaptability. Against Toronto Raptors, they eked out a narrow win with a final scoreline of 127-125; here again showcasing strong shooting from beyond the arc with a three-point percentage of 42 percent.


The upcoming game promises to be challenging as Dallas presents its own set of strengths; however, Indiana's ability to maintain high scoring percentages across different shot types - including two-pointers (58 percent against Detroit), three-pointers (43 percent against Toronto), and free throws (84 percent against Detroit) - will be key factors contributing towards potential success on enemy territory.
