After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Mavericks 105-74. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
