After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Pistons 104-102. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
