After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Cavaliers 133-108. Pistons' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
