After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pistons 127-107. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
