After Action Report
The Mavericks took care of the Pistons 108-95. Mavericks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
