After the overtime loss to the Mavericks, J.B. Bickerstaff said an official made calls with an "unobjective point of view" against the Pistons.

Official John Goble explains Ausar Thompson’s second-quarter ejection as the Pistons fall 116–114 to the Mavericks after a late rally.

Naji Marshall gave the Mavericks the lead again with a transition layup, then Anthony Davis tapped in a missed shot from Cooper Flagg (really should've been offensive basket interference) to make it a three-point lead again, and a 9-2 run for the Mavs.

Cunningham was the only Detroit player to score in overtime, but hit two of just seven shots he took. The Pistons scrapped in the closing moments trying to hit a clutch shot, but a pair of makes from Davis were enough to end the night and another Detroit winning streak.

The Detroit Pistons are ranked as high as the No. 2 team in the NBA, according to many of the biggest sports media outlets.

The Detroit Pistons (21-5) travel to American Airlines Center to face the Dallas Mavericks (10-17) on Thursday night in NBA action.

"Just trying to connect with people, I think I've always had that in me, but it started in high school," says Cade Cunningham.

Daniss Jenkins, a Dallas native, came off the bench to score 11 points in the Pistons' OT loss to the Mavericks.

The Pistons were called for three technical fouls and had a player ejected in their game against the Mavericks.
