The Mavs Pound The Pistons
The Dallas Mavericks went into The Palace Of Auburn Hills and literally embarrassed the Detroit Pistons by defeating them by 21 points with extremely lackluster play by the whole Detroit squad. The final score of the game was 112-91. Trying to gain some rhythm and steady play, the Pistons coaches decided to take Richard Hamilton off the starting lineup recently and have him come off the bench. It hasn’t seemed to change much as it looks like Detroit is struggling with their defense the most.
The top 3 scorers for the Mavericks were Dirk Nowitzki with 26 points, Josh Howard with 22 points and Brandon Bass with 18 points. The team as a whole shot an impressive 54% and held the Pistons to a low 42%. Dallas is hovering around the 8th spot in the Western Conference. They better continue to play well or they could see themselves not even making the Playoffs this year.
