The Detroit Pistons (44 - 38) defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers (57 - 25) in the season finale Wednesday at Quicken Loans Arena, 112 - 110 in overtime. Many of the top players for both teams sat out with their clubs locked into their playoff seeds, as LeBron James, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Andre Drummond, and Reggie Jackson all watched this one from the benches. Detroit opened up a 58 - 44 lead by halftime, but the Cavaliers clawed their way back into the game. Cleveland won the fourth quarter 31 - 21 and forced overtime on the strength of a Jordan McRae three - pointer with 15 seconds left. But Detroit held on in the overtime as McRae missed two of his three free throw attempts with 1 remaining in the extra frame as the Cavaliers fell by two. Jodie Meeks hit four three - pointers off the bench and led the Pistons with 20 points. Anthony Tolliver (5 - 10 FG, 5 - 9 3PT) and Reggie Bullock (5 - 8 FG, 3 - 5 3PT) added 15 each. Detroit shot just 44 perrcent from the field but made 16 - 33 (49 percent) from three - point land and notched 24 assists against 12 turnovers to keep their offense moving. McRae's 36 points led all scorers, as he shot a robust 14 - 29 from the field, including 3 - 5 from three - point land. Richard Jefferson scored 16 (5 - 11 FG) and Channing Frye (6 - 10 FG) and Timofey Mozgov (7 - 12 FG) added 14 points apiece. Cleveland outshot Detroit 47 percent to 44 percent, but the Pistons scored 27 more points from the three - point line and 11 more from the free throw line, too much for Cleveland to overcome in the end. The Cavaliers will enter the playoffs with the first seed in the Eastern Conference and will face the Pistons, the eighth seed, in the first round.
