Another romp: Pistons blow out Cavs, run string of 30-point quarters to 8

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 127-94 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse

ANOTHER ROMP – Coming off their most decisive win of the season – a 34-point rout of San Antonio – the Pistons made Tuesday about showing the mental discipline to stay on task against another struggling team, Cleveland. They passed that personal test with flying colors. The Pistons won every quarter, outscoring Cleveland 62-46 in the first half and expanding the lead to a commanding 29 after three quarters. They got the shots they wanted – the Pistons shot 18 of 35 from the 3-point arc – kept their turnovers down (12), limited Cleveland’s 3-point looks and didn’t put the Cavs at the line excessively.
