After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Cavaliers 139-112. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
