After Action Report
In Dallas, the Mavericks took care of the Pistons 110-96. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks; the Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
