After Action Report
The Cavaliers outlasted the Pistons 90-84. Every possession went the Cavaliers way. The Cavaliers couldn't shake the cold spell; the Cavaliers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Cavaliers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
