After Action Report
The Cavaliers squeaked past the Pistons 96-91. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
