After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pistons squeaked past the Cavaliers 101-96. Every possession went the Pistons way. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
