After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pistons snuck past the Cavaliers 107-106. The Cavaliers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
