After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pistons handled the Cavaliers 109-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
