After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Cavaliers 116-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
