NBA ROUNDUP | Thursday's games

Pacers 110, Mavericks 98
INDIANAPOLIS -- Unbeaten no more, the Dallas Mavericks were denied a spot in the NBA record books by a Pacers team that showed why it has the best record in the East. Pounding the ball inside to take advantage of its low-post talent, Indiana got 26 points from Jermaine O'Neal and inspired efforts from Al Harrington, Brad Miller and Ron Artest to defeat the Mavericks. The Pacers prevented Dallas (14-1) from matching the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets for the best start to a season in NBA history -- 15-0. Artest scored 20 points, including Indiana's first 10, while Harrington scored 21 on 9-of-12 shooting and Miller added 16 on 7-of-8 shooting.
Clippers 126, Nets 118, OT

Brand, who had 21 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots, put the Clippers on top 118-116 with 3:02 left. Michael Olowokandi, who had 14 points, nine rebounds and five blocks, made four free throws in the final minute to clinch the victory.
