After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Pistons 115-85. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Pistons. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
