After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Mavericks 119-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
