After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Cavaliers 123-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
