After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Mavericks 125-98. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
