After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Cavaliers 129-119. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Cavaliers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
