Wrap-Up With some key players still nursing nagging injuries as the regular season rapidly approaches, the Wine and Gold wrapped up their preseason with a 129-100 loss to the Pistons on Friday night at the Breslin Center on the campus of Michigan State University.
The Cavaliers will get another crack at the Pistons in the Wolverine State in less than a week. On Friday night, Coach Tyronn Lue just wanted to get his team into the regular season at full strength.
Without the services of Kevin Love and Larry Nance Jr. along the front line, Detroit’s Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin were dominant down low through the first three quarters – and that turned out to be the difference as the Cavaliers fell for the second time to end their preseason run with a 2-2 mark.
