After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Cavaliers 99-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
