After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks buried the Pistons 122-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
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.
