After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Cavaliers 128-120. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
