The Dallas Mavericks set a season high for points, but their work on the defensive end was a major factor in ending the Detroit Pistons' bid to remain the NBA's lone unbeaten team.
Josh Howard scored 26 points, and Dirk Nowitzki had 23 as the Mavericks raced to a 26-point first-quarter lead and handed the Pistons their first loss of the season, 119-82 on Saturday night.
"We concentrated more on the defensive end and rebounding the ball," Howard said after the Mavericks held the Pistons to 41 percent shooting from the field. "We wanted to make sure they got one shot and that was it."

Elden Campbell is living in the Los Angeles area. Although he said he's retired, don't be surprised if a contending team calls him as we head down the playoff drive.
Darvin Ham, too, could fill a role on a contending team. Guys with their playoff experience, and smarts, are invaluable, especially to a younger team making its first playoff run.
