After Action Report
In Detroit, the Mavericks buried the Pistons 124-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
