After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Mavericks 114-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
