After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pistons took care of the Cavaliers 127-110. Pistons' starting five clicked while the Cavaliers looked disjointed. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.

- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
