After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Pistons 91-85. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
