After Action Report
The Cavaliers pulled away from the Pistons 103-90. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; the Cavaliers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
