After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Pistons 128-98. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
