**Pistons Rally to Beat Mavericks 122-110 in Mexico City**
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Jalen Duren delivered a dominant performance with 33 points and 10 rebounds, while Cade Cunningham contributed 21 points and a team-high 18 assists as the Detroit Pistons pulled away in the fourth quarter to defeat the Dallas Mavericks 122-110 on Saturday night.
Duncan Robinson added 18 points and Ausar Thompson contributed 15 for the Pistons, who secured their second consecutive win. Coming off the bench for the Mavericks, D’Angelo Russell scored a game-high 31 points. First overall draft pick Cooper Flagg scored a season-high 16 points, although he struggled from the field, shooting 3-for-14.
Despite trailing 93-87 after three quarters, the Pistons outscored Dallas 35-17 in the final period to seal the victory. The Mavericks played without forward Anthony Davis, who is expected to miss two games due to a left leg injury sustained on Wednesday against Indiana.
This game marked the 15th regular-season NBA game played in Mexico City and the fourth for the Mavericks—more than any other franchise. The Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic have both played in Mexico City three times each.
