After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Pistons 96-95. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
