After Action Report

The Pistons demolished the Mavericks 117-76. Pistons' offense had its way with the Mavericks. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
