After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Cavaliers 110-103. Pistons torched the Cavaliers on the offensive end. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
