Flagg had a season-high in scoring while Irving tied for his season best. They combined to score 26 points in the fourth quarter — including Dallas’ first 13 — as the Mavericks outscored the Pacers 35-29.
Irving, in action this season after missing 19 months with a torn ACL, played 28 minutes in Sunday night’s 130-93 rout of Brooklyn and a season-high 38 minutes against Indiana after sitting out the second game of the Mavericks’ first back-to-back 2½ weeks ago. He hit a season-high seven 3-pointers.
