After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Cavaliers 118-103. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
