The Detroit Pistons (12 - 23) defeated the Dallas Mavericks (26 - 11) 108 - 95 on Wednesday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. With a 74 - 68 lead at the end of the third quarter, the Pistons remained in control. They went on to out - score the Mavericks 34 - 27 in the fourth quarter, allowing them to end the Mavericks six - game winning streak and push their own to seven in a row. The Pistons were able to out - rebound the Mavericks 60 - 43, giving them an even greater advantage in the victory. Greg Monroe continued his stretch of impressive games. He went 11 - for - 16 from the field and 5 - for - 5 from the free throw line to score 27 points, while also chipping in with 18 rebounds and six assists. The double - double marked his fourth in a row, as he's averaging 18 points and 13 rebounds over that stretch of games. In another surprise performance off the bench, D.J. Augustin went 9 - for - 16 from the floor and 4 - for - 5 from beyond the arc to score 26 points. After scoring 19 points against the Spurs on Tuesday, he continued to sport the hot hand in the Pistons' second unit. Andre Drummond did n't have a big night offensively, but was again a hound on the boards with 19 rebounds in 30 minutes. He's now had at least 10 rebounds in 13 out of his last 14 games. Brandon Jennings reached double figures as well with 14 points (7 - 18 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt), while adding four rebounds and six assists. The Mavericks saw a big game from Dirk Nowitzki, who finished with 19 points (8 - 19 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 3 - 4 FT) and five rebounds. It was right on par with his season average of 18 points per game. Monta Ellis had 16 points (6 - 17 FG, 0 - 4 3Pt, 4 - 6 FT) of his own, along with five rebounds and four assists. It was n't his best shooting outing of the year, but he still was able to put some points on the board. In a nice performance off the bench, Devin Harris went 5 - for - 8 from the field and 2 - for - 3 from the three - point line to score 14 points in 21 minutes. It was his best offensive showing since back in early December, so he'll hope to keep that momentum going. The only other Maverick to reach double figures in points was Chandler Parsons, who finished with 15 points (5 - 13 FG, 2 - 5 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) in 35 minutes. The Pistons' next game will be at home against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday, while the Mavericks will travel to Los Angeles to play the Clippers on Saturday.
