Down by over ten points to begin the 4th quarter, the Detroit Pistons rallied late in the game to overcome the Dallas Mavericks and steal a preseason win that will go a long way to boost confidence. Using the starters to finish out the last five minutes of the game, Detroit outscored the Mavericks by 17 points in the fourth quarter and pulled out a shocking 85-81 lead. Though its only a preseason game, it was a strong choice on the coach’s part to make his starters play in a pressure situation. It will better prepare them for the season when every game counts.
