After Action Report
The Mavericks handled the Pistons 110-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
