A suffocating defense keyed the comfortable victory for Cleveland, which held the Pistons to a 31 percent success rate from the field. Only one Detroit player, Jon Leuer, managed double - digit scoring. Irving paced Cleveland with a 25 - point, 11 - assist double - double, while James posted 21 points in his return from a one - game absence due to rest. Love put together a 12 - point, 13 - rebound double - double that also included an assist, and Tristan Thompson brought in 14 boards and recorded four blocks. The Pistons' top scorers were Tobias Harris and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who each tallied a pair of nine - point efforts in the loss. Andre Drummond supplied a modest eight points, but he was able to haul in 10 rebounds, while Marcus Morris continued his offensive slump with a seven - point output on 3 - of - 11 shooting, making it his third straight game with single - digit scoring.
