After Action Report
In Detroit, the Mavericks handled the Pistons 117-106 in overtime. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
