Final score: Mavs 103, Pistons 97. Didn't see the game but read the blow-by-blow on other forums. Sounds like the Mavs played to win, with Dirk going against our third string until a few minutes were left.

Some folks are saying Acker pressed too much and played selfishly. Like I said, I didn't watch the game. Same folks were saying Darko got screwed on the stat sheet ... credited with 7 points, 2 assists, and 6 blocks, when in fact he had at least eight. Apparently Maxiell played well.
