After Action Report
The Cavaliers downed the Pistons 105-91. Ugly basketball, but the Cavaliers did just enough. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
