In Dallas, the Mavericks demolished the Pistons 140-104. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
