After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Pistons 109-102. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
