After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pistons 103-80. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Cavaliers sent shots into the fifth row all night; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Cavaliers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
