After Action Report
The Cavaliers blew the doors off the Pistons 131-93. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Cavaliers stayed locked in; Cavaliers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
