After Action Report
The Cavaliers demolished the Pistons 124-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers bench chemistry carried them. 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.
- Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
