After Action Report
In Detroit, the Cavaliers outlasted the Pistons 112-104. The Cavaliers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
