While it’s not uncommon for the NBA to take regular-season games outside the U.S., this Pistons-Mavs showdown is shaping up to be a special one. Not only does it give both franchises an international spotlight, but it also brings their long-running head-to-head history to a global stage.
The upcoming game will be the 88th meeting between the Pistons and Mavericks. Detroit has historically had the upper hand, winning 45 of the 87 matchups so far. However, recent games have been more evenly matched. Over the last three seasons, the teams have split their regular-season series.
