This appeared to be a lopsided matchup on paper, but when LeBron James is taken out of that equation, the tables get turned. Detroit took care of business against the shorthanded Cavaliers too, as they won each individual quarter en route to a wire - to - wire win. Three-point shooting was the biggest factor for the Pistons, as they went 16 - of - 28 from long distance in the dominating win. The Cavaliers offense really struggled without James, as they went just 38 percent from the field and committed 21 turnovers in their loss. Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving did all they could though, as Love totaled 17 points and 14 rebounds, while Irving collected 18 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Tobias Harris continues to thrive in his new bench role, as he led the Pistons with 21 points, six rebounds and four assists. Andre Drummond was a force down low, accruing 11 points, 17 rebounds and four assists.
