After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Pistons 106-90. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
