After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Cavaliers 131-93. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
