FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Monday night’s 96-88 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers...
SLAM DUNK – The end of the Pistons’ longest losing streak of the season didn’t appear likely to happen at Cleveland. But on a night LeBron James appeared eerily human – he finished with 12 points on 5 of 18 shooting and committed six turnovers – the Pistons survived two long second-half scoring droughts to beat the Cavaliers. The Pistons came into the game on a five-game losing streak, while Cleveland had won five straight – including a 22-point win at Oklahoma City on Sunday that came without Kyrie Irving.
