After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Pistons 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss; Mavericks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
