After Action Report

The Pistons blew the doors off the Mavericks 129-102. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
