The Mavs had 35 points off 20 Detroit turnovers in Saturday’s win. It’s their most pts off TOs in a game since scoring 39 in a rout of Philadelphia in November 2014. It’s tied for the 5th highest pts off TOs the Mavs have had in the…wait for it…play-by-play era (since 96-97). – 11:43 PM

I’ll admit that I wasn’t a big Cade Cunningham fan coming out of college. He was a very good player who more often than not left me wanting more than I saw. But he’s a damn good NBA player. Big body. Good finishing. 3pt shooting has dramatically improved. Tries to guard – 11:23 PM

End of 1: Mavs 35, Pistons 33. Fontecchio subbed in for Ivey midway through the quarter and already has 13 points on 3-3 shooting from 3. Ivey subbed back in with 2:18 to go. They went two minutes without Cade or Ivey on the floor and survived.
Cunningham: 10 points – 7:41 PM

Tek just threw up a floater 3 to beat the shot clock and did it lol.
Smiling big as he goes back to the bench ant end of quarter.
He’s got 13 points in 5 minutes.
Mavs 35, Pistons 33 after 1Q. – 7:39 PM

Kyrie Irving has 9 points in this first quarter and he’s 4-8 from the field. – 7:36 PM

@MikeACurtis2
Jaden Ivey is getting ready to check back in. Looks like we could see consistent staggering of Cade and Ivey tonight. – 7:30 PM

@MikeACurtis2
Thompson just forced Luka into another turnover. That’s his fourth giveaway of the night. He’s doing a pretty good job on him. – 7:27 PM

3 early turnovers for Doncic, at least 2 of them directly leading to Pistons baskets or free-throws. – 7:26 PM
James Edwards III
@JLEdwardsIII
Interesting wrinkly here — Tek is coming on for Ivey. Getting some Tek-Stew-Wiseman with Cade and Ausar.
Assuming that’s setting up for staggered Cade-Ivey minutes. – 7:25 PM
Mike Curtis
@MikeACurtis2
Luka Doncic just knocked down a tough mid-range shot through contact by James Wiseman. He thought it was a foul. – 7:24 PM
James Edwards III
@JLEdwardsIII
Ausar just tried to put Dwight Powell on an NFT. – 7:24 PM
James Edwards III
@JLEdwardsIII
What if, maybe, Wiseman has figured some things out?
Scored on a nice roll, blocked a shot and then immediately disrupted the follow up. – 7:20 PM
Mike Curtis
@MikeACurtis2
A block by James Wiseman leads to an open 3-pointer in transition for Cade Cunningham.
The Pistons trail the Mavs 13-12 with 6:45 left in the first quarter. – 7:20 PM

Duren just picked up his second foul less than four minutes into the game.
Wiseman checks in. – 7:17 PM
Mike Curtis
@MikeACurtis2
Duren just picked up his second foul so Wiseman is entering the game. It’s the third game in a row that Duren has been whistled for two quick fouls in the first quarter. – 7:17 PM

Ausar Thompson just forced Luka Doncic into a turnover. – 7:15 PM

The Warriors say Steph Curry will be re-evaluated for his ankle injury on Tuesday. So that rules him out of both Spurs games — tonight in SF and Monday in San Antonio. The Warriors play Wednesday in Dallas and next Saturday in LA vs Lakers. – 6:07 PM

Jason Kidd on Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey:
“These two young guns are coming. They both had 30 the other night. It puts a lot of pressure on your defense. We gotta keep them in the halfcourt. We can’t let them get in the open court because that’s when they’re at their best.” – 6:01 PM
Mike Curtis
@MikeACurtis2
Jason Kidd on Cunningham: “You look at what Cade’s doing right now, he’s one of the hottest players in the 2nd half of this season. He’s shooting the ball at a high rate. He’s scoring the ball. He’s being aggressive. You can see he’s comfortable with what he’s trying to get to.” – 5:57 PM
Brad Townsend
@townbrad
Monty Williams: “When they made the trade for Gafford I was like, ‘Golly, that’s such a great rim-roller and presence in the paint.” Williams also described Washington as versatile, “a lot like Stewie (Isaiah Stewart).” – 5:49 PM

Monty on if, in a perfect world, one of Cade or Ivey is on the floor at all times: “I think so. I wouldn’t go that far and put that much pressure on two young guys like that. We have to be more team-oriented than that.” Said he’s more concerned about having at least 2 starters on – 5:19 PM

Monty Williams on if it’s a perfect world having Cade/Ivey on the floor at all times: “I think so. I wouldn’t go that far and out that much pressure on two young guys like that. I think we have to be a bit more team-oriented than that.” – 5:17 PM

Very underrated food scene in Detroit. Outstanding quesabirria for lunch from the Antojitos Southwest food truck in the Corktown Historic District and dinner last night at the always solid Ottava Via where they make a delicious cacio e pepe. I added grilled chicken, don’t judge. pic.twitter.com/WbwU9EHS9f – 1:24 PM
