After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Cavaliers 113-104. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
