After Action Report
The Cavaliers survived the Pistons 108-107. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Cavaliers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
