After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Cavaliers 127-126. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
