After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Cavaliers 127-105. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
