The Dallas Mavericks (19 - 8) went on the road and knocked off the Detroit Pistons (5 - 21) 117 - 106 on Wednesday. The Mavericks have a knack for defeating the teams who they're supposed to defeat, and that showed once again on Wednesday, with another double - digit victory. The "big four" for the Mavericks all chipped in by doing their part, as Chandler Parsons had a huge game, scoring 32 points (10 - 17 FG, 4 - 6 3Pt, 8 - 9 FT) to go with seven rebounds, two assists and two steals. Monta Ellis was at it again, scoring 25 points (11 - 20 FG, 1 - 2 3Pt, 2 - 4 FT), with eight assists, while Dirk Nowitzki posted a double - double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. Tyson Chandler fell just short of his own double - double, posting 16 points and nine rebounds. The Pistons gave the game away at the foul line, putting the Mavericks at the charity stripe for 27 easy points on 35 free throw attempts. The only starter who played over 28 minutes was Andre Drummond (41). The bench saw four players go over 20 minutes, showing that the Pistons are trying to find any lineup that can produce consistently. Drummond put up a stellar line, scoring 19 points (9 - 16 FG, 0 - 1 3Pt, 1 - 6 FT) to go with 24 rebounds, four steals, three blocks and an assist. Aside from that though, no one lit up the box score, and both Brandon Jennings and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope struggled shooting the ball on Wednesday.
