After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Cavaliers 110-59. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
