After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Cavaliers 113-102. Pistons torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Cavaliers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
