After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Mavericks 108-88. Pistons' offense had its way with the Mavericks. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
