After Action Report

The Pistons rolled past the Mavericks 117-87. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
