After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Cavaliers 106-103. Pistons' offense had its way with the Cavaliers. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. 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.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
