DALLAS -- A night after a 31-point home loss that embarrassed Wesley Matthews and his teammates, they all showed up at a charity event hosted by the Dallas shooting guard.Coach Rick Carlisle called it a team-building moment for the unit with the worst record in the Western Conference.

Two nights later, the Mavericks started the third quarter with a 10-2 run for their first double-digit lead in just their third win in 15 games. Harrison Barnes scored 25 points.That game, I think it ate at a lot of people, as it should, said Matthews, who was 8 of 16 from the field and 5 of 10 from 3-point range. I was embarrassed. I think a lot of other people were, too.Indiana had 10 3-pointers in the first quarter and a half, including four from Dallas high school product C.J. Miles.

I dont know what it is. I dont have the answers for that.Matthews outscored the Pacers by himself during a 32-11 spurt that turned a 50-42 deficit into a 74-61 lead. He had 16 points during the run , capped by a 3-pointer midway through the third quarter.The Mavericks (5-17) shot 58 percent in the third quarter, making six of 12 from long range and outscoring the Pacers 31-25.
