After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons squeaked past the Mavericks 112-111. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
