After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 112-81. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
