After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pistons 101-81. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. The Cavaliers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
