After Action Report
The Mavericks fended off the Pistons 111-102. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
