After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Pistons 118-117. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Cavaliers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
