MAVERICKS 113 PISTONS 102...J-SMOOVE went Highlight Factory Crazy but it wasn't enough as DIRK-iliscious, VIN-canity, and MISSISSIPPI Lightning went "Everything is Bigger in TEXAS"...LOGO WATCH with Team Shark Tank of Big D > Deeeeeetroit Basketbaaaaaaall #MAVSnation #G.O.A.T.ofBigD@Swish41

The Detroit Pistons were off an running and if they all ate and drank what Josh Smith had this story would have a Detroit Sports Nation happy ending! Having said all of that the Mavs just have their Stiff together and that stuff later on prevailed and was too much for Detroit Basketball.

Behind 24 points from Germany's Favorite Son Dirk Nowitzki and 18 points from Half Man/Half AARP Vince Carter the Mavs hit the Winner's Circle in Big D. The Mavs total Team effort negated a 32 points performance through three frames by Pistons 2013 Prized Free Agent Pick Up Josh Smith dba J-Smoove. Dallas also gets 12 points and thirteen helpers from Monta Ellis dba Mississippi Lightning with the Pride of Haiti Sam Dalembert throwing in 12 points and hauling in eleven Oranges as the Mavs move to 7-2 in February and take that Grit & Grind Beale Street.

The only other Pistons in double figures was Greg Monroe netting 17 points and seventeen boards with West Side of the Chi City's "Will the Thrill" Bynum of Crane Tech by way of Desert Swarm and the Ramblin' Wreck also adding 17. The other Pistons were a no-show and the night before four Pistons had double-doubles....too much pre-game meal!

The Mavs move to 34-23 and will be in Winning Time while the Pistons fall to 23-33 and the search for a New Lead man will continue far past the 2013-14 season.
