Andrew Anderson+FollowMavs blew an 18-point lead but still survived Pistons 116–114 in OTDallas tried to give this away and still escaped. The Mavs beat Detroit 116–114 in overtime after coughing up an 18-point 3rd-quarter lead. Cooper Flagg led Dallas with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Anthony Davis had 15 points, 14 boards, 3 blocks, and came up huge late — including two big OT buckets and a go-ahead dunk after Cade tied it. Detroit nearly stole it behind Cade Cunningham’s 29/10/9, plus 17 and 13 from Jalen Duren, but the Pistons missed three shots in the final 8 seconds of OT. Also: Ausar Thompson got ejected in the 2nd quarter after contact with an official — bizarre swing moment in a one-possession game. #NBA #Mavericks #Pistons #CooperFlagg #AnthonyDavis #CadeCunningham #NBADiscussion 10Share
