After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons survived the Cavaliers 93-91. 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 came in with something to prove after a loss. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
