After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Cavaliers 122-100. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; the Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
