After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Cavaliers 126-103. Pistons torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
