After Action Report
In Detroit, the Mavericks snuck past the Pistons 119-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
