The Dallas Mavericks (2-4) battled late, but were unable to slow down Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, who finished Saturday’s game with 21 points and 18 assists, as the Pistons (4-2) pulled out a 122-110 win in the NBA’s Mexico City Game on Saturday. Dallas led by six heading into the fourth quarter before Detroit outscored the Mavericks 35-17 in the final frame.

D’Angelo Russell had his best game as a Maverick in the loss with a season-high 31 points on 10-of-17 shooting and 7-of-13 from behind the arc in 30 minutes off the bench. The 13 threes taken by Russell were part of a larger theme for the Mavericks on Saturday night as Dallas shot 45 three-pointers and made 16 of them, a significant increase over their early-season averages of 28.8 attempts and 9.2 makes over their first five contests
