Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Detroit Pistons gamethread

The Cavs after last night’s thrilling win against the Nuggets.

The Cleveland Cavaliers could really, really use this one.

Even though this is the second half of a back-to-back, the Cavs are favorites and should expect to win against the Detroit Pistons. Who are bad! But the second night of a back-to-back against a team that didn’t play the night before is tricky.

With a win on Saturday, the Cavs will also be just .5 back of the Chicago Bulls for the fifth seed in the East and 1.5 games up on the seventh-seeded Toronto Raptors. It’s a small thing with games still to play, but it helps because there really isn’t all that much time left.

Anyway, enjoy and have a good evening. Let’s at least hope for a good battle between the Rookie of the Year favorite in Evan Mobley and the No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham.
