After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers demolished the Pistons 122-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.

- Cavaliers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
