After Action Report
The Cavaliers fended off the Pistons 104-98. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Cavaliers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping.
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.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
