  The Pacers host said Indiana's defense showed no force, physicality or resistance, and Dallas scored 77 in the first half. The Pacers cut the lead to 13, which the host partly credited to Flagg's absence. Two-way player Jalen Slawson and bench guard Quenton Jackson played well.

  • Tony East: Tony says Jalen Slawson has been very active in the preseason: his shot hasn't looked good, but he gets downhill and his defense is everywhere, to the point of flying past players and fouling a little. at 26:19
  • Tony East: Slawson was in the rotation in the OKC preseason game while three rotation wings were out. Tony reads this as Slawson filling Johnny Furphy's rotation spot until Furphy is back, and says Slawson is still down the depth chart. No reason for Furphy's absence is given. at 26:34
  • Tony East: Tony says Slawson, a two-way player, seems to be ahead of Kobe Brown in the rotation and has been much better than Brown this preseason. He thinks the team would be fine using Slawson for a game or two if needed. at 28:50
