The Detroit Pistons defeated the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night to move to 14-13 on the season. The Pistons bounced back after a sluggish game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Both teams started slow to start the game as the Detroit Pistons kept turning the ball over. After a somewhat sloppy first half, the game was tied 43-43 at halftime. The Pistons dominated the boards in this game while the Mavericks took better care of the ball.
This made for an interesting and close game until the Pistons got in sync during the fourth quarter behind their ball movement and good defense. They scored 35 points in the fourth quarter while holding Dallas to only 21. It was good to see the Pistons come out and play with more energy after their sluggish previous game.
