After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Pistons 101-89. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
