After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Mavericks 99-95 in overtime. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
