After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Mavericks 108-79. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
