After Action Report
The Mavericks pulled away from the Pistons 151-136. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
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.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
