After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Cavaliers 128-101. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
