Another bad third quarter did the Pistons in. And the first quarter wasn’t so good, either.
The Dallas Mavericks notched 30-plus points in each of those periods, on the way to a big blowout. The Pistons didn’t have an answer for the Mavs’ 3-point shooting and fell in a 116-86 laugher to Tuesday night at American Airlines Center.
It’s the ninth loss in the last 10 games for the Pistons (12-42), who have lost five straight on the road.
Hamidou Diallo had 18 points and five rebounds, Jerami Grant 15 points and Isaiah Stewart 14 points and 15 rebounds.
