Dallas — Many of the Pistons called Sunday night’s 18-point blowout loss to the 76ers at The Palace embarrassing.
They dodged getting another one that would have been just as bad.
The Pistons followed their worst performance of the season — falling to the team with the worst record in the East — with nail-biter against the team with the worst record in the West.
After playing neck-and-neck in an error-filled first half, they rebounded for a 95-85 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center.
The win continues the Pistons’ streak of alternating wins and losses over the last seven games.
