scored a
career-high
33
points
on
13-of-16
shooting,
leading
the
Detroit

to a
122-110
victory
over the

at Arena

the 2025
NBA

Game on

improved
to 4-2
on the
season,
while
the

fell to
2-4.
The

allowed
30 or
more
points
in each
of the
first
three
quarters,
losing
every
period
by an
average
margin
of 2.6
points.
In the
fourth
quarter,
Detroit
outscored
Dallas
35-17 to
pull
away and
secure
the
victory.
Isaiah
Stewart
provided
a
tremendous
performance
off the
bench,
contributing
10
points,
four
rebounds
and two
blocks,
helping
Detroit's
"Dawg
Pound"
overcome
the
Mavericks'
undermanned
roster.
The

played
without
stars
Kyrie
Irving
and
Anthony
Davis,
as well
as
starting
center
Dereck
Lively
II.
D'Angelo
Russell
led

struggled,
finishing
with 16
points
on just
3/14
shooting.
Dallas
had
eight
turnovers
in the
first
three
quarters,
but then
coughed
it up 7
times in
the
fourth,
which
proved
costly.
Cade
Cunningham
was
lethal
passing
with 18
assists
and just
one
turnover
to
orchestrate
the

offense.
Pistons
coach
J.B.
Bickerstaff
called
it "an
honor"

asked to
be part
of the
game and
said the
team
wanted
to "play
well for
the fans
here".
The game
was held
as part
of
traditional
Día de
Muertos
celebrations,
marking
the
league's
34th
regular-season
game in
Mexico
since
1992.
