After Action Report
In a track meet, the Cavaliers buried the Pistons 133-101. The breakneck pace played right into Cavaliers' hands. The Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
