After Action Report
The Cavaliers took care of the Pistons 85-69. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Shots just aren't falling for the Cavaliers lately; Cavaliers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
