After Action Report
In Detroit, the Mavericks downed the Pistons 89-70. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
