Simone Fontecchio got some extra minutes with Ausar Thompson leaving the game, and he ended with 27 points with 4 made triples. Jaden Ivey scored 17 points while James Wiseman had 17 points and 12 boards off the bench.
The Mavs improve to 36-28 with this win, remaining the 8th seed in the West and 1.5 games away from avoiding the play-in. This was a big victory for Dallas as they have struggled following the All-Star break. They are 5-5 over their last 10 games and will look to pick up their 3rd straight win on Monday against the Chicago Bulls.
Meanwhile, this loss drops the Pistons to 10-53. Detroit has shown that they have solid core pieces to build around and now they need them to developed, which is what they’ll look to do this off-season. They are 2-8 over their last 10 games and will face off against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday.
