After Action Report
The Cavaliers ran roughshod over the Pistons 111-81. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Cavaliers cashed in. Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
