After Action Report
The Mavericks demolished the Pistons 107-66. The Mavericks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
