After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Mavericks 119-80. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
