In Detroit, the Cavaliers pulled away from the Pistons 138-125. Cavaliers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Cavaliers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Cavaliers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
