The Mavericks went into the Palace and defeated the Pistons by a final score of 95-88, an impressive road victory.
Josh Howard led Dallas with 24 points, while Dirk Nowitzki had 22 and 10.
``I'm not worried about how many points they have or what their shooting percentage was,'' new Dallas coach Avery Johnson said. ``I'm happy with the fact that we are taking teams deeper into the shot clock and making them rush shots. Earlier in the season, that didn't happen -- we were only playing defense for 12 or 14 seconds. To win, you have to play defense for the whole 24.''
Ben Wallace's 17 rebounds weren't nearly enough as the Pistons dropped their fourth game in their last five games.

Peja Stojakovic hit six 3-pointers as he finished with a season-high 38 points, and the Kings avoided a regular-season sweep by Dallas with a 109-101 victory Thursday night.
``The basket felt like a swimming pool,'' Stojakovic said. ``I know I've been inconsistent lately, but you just have to keep playing through it. I was just being aggressive from the first minute. ... I know I was struggling, but I couldn't sit home and cry. I had to play and get back in shape.''
``He just looked so much like the Peja of last year tonight,'' Rick Adelman said. ``He wasn't just standing out there. He was pursuing the ball. It was great to see.''
Dirk Nowitzki had another impressive night, scoring 35 points and grabbing 8 rebounds.
