After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons blew the doors off the Mavericks 134-104. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
