After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Cavaliers squeaked past the Pistons 92-90. Cavaliers' offense had its way with the Pistons. Cavaliers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Cavaliers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
