After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Cavaliers 123-99. Pistons' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. The Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
