After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Mavericks 167-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
