After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pistons 129-84. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
