After Action Report
In Cleveland, the Pistons held off the Cavaliers 99-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Cavaliers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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.
