After Action Report

The Pistons snuck past the Cavaliers 119-118. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
