After Action Report
In Detroit, the Mavericks outlasted the Pistons 111-105. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Pistons. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
