After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Cavaliers 104-100. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Cavaliers are in a full-on tailspin. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
