After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Pistons 104-90. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
