The Pistons demolished the Cavaliers 129-99. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
