After Action Report
The Cavaliers handled the Pistons 110-97. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Cavaliers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
