After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 125-105. The Cavaliers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
