After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks pulled away from the Pistons 107-90. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
