After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Pistons 118-93. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
