After Action Report

The Mavericks held off the Pistons 95-86. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Pistons. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
