After Action Report
The Cavaliers snuck past the Pistons 102-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Cavaliers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
