After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Pistons 109-104. Cavaliers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
