Bogdanovic, Hayes sharp as Pistons overcome Doncic, Mavericks in riveting OT, 131-125 By Emmanuel Rivera, RRT PhilBoxing.com Fri, 02 Dec 2022  December 1, 2022 Christmas came early for the 18,106 fans at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Despite not having their best player Cade Cunningham and facing 8-point odds, per Caesars Sports Book, the Pistons not only kept up with the Mavericks, but outdueled them in a thrilling overtime, 131-125. Detroit looked much better than their 5-18 record coming into the game that featured 10 ties in regulation. Tonight, both teams were statistically equal in assists, steals, points after turnovers, field goals and three-pointers made. Detroit controlled both boards and outrebounded the Mavs 52-30, and scored more points in the paint, 54 to 44. SF Bojan Bogdanovic paved the way and scored 30 points (4 rebounds and 4 assists). With 22.6 left in regulation, the Mavs tied the game 117-all as a result of Maxi Kleber’s dish to Reggie Bullock who made the deuce, thereby, sending the game into overtime. The hometown hero of the night was Killian Hayes who contributed 8 of his 22 points in overtime. With 1:35 left in the game, the Mavs’ Christian Wood’s slam dunk tied the game for the eleventh time at 125-all. Hayes retaliated with 2 three-pointers with 1:15 left and another at the 41.6 second mark to put the game away. 
As a team, Detroit made 51 of 94 buckets (54.3% FG) and connected 15 of 35 from afar (42.9% 3-PT). 
As a team, the Mavs shot well connecting on 46 of 86 baskets (53.5% FG) and a workmanlike 19 for 46 beyond the outer arc (41.3% 3-PT). Luka Doncic led the Mavs, as he normally does, scoring 35 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists. He scored 20 points in the first half for an NBA-best 12th time this season. Doncic set a new season-high with his sixth 3-pointer early in the third quarter to pass Brad Davis (7,623 career points) for seventh on the Mavericks' all-time scoring list (as reported by NBA.com and the Dallas Morning News). Tim Hardawaw, Jr. scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists— with his father and former GSW great Tim Hardaway, Sr. watching from court side. However, after tonight’s loss, the Mavs-last NBA season’s Western Conference finalists (against the Golden State Warriors)- are now 1-8 on the road this season.
