Cavs owner Dan Gilbert sent 400 fans to Detroit — and they helped change Game 5’s energy
DETROIT — The Cavs are searching for every edge they can find in a series defined by emotional swings, momentum surges and the challenge of winning their first game during this postseason run in a hostile environment.
Here's how to watch Wednesday's Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers game.
Cleveland kept hearing that this series would be decided by physicality. Through three games, the cleaner pattern has been simpler. The team that has shot better from 3 has won every game, and the Cavaliers only got back into the series when their offense created in-rhythm threes out of paint touches in Game 3.
The Detroit Pistons say Ausar Thompson was fouled at the end of Game 5 on Wednesday. But more importantly, they say they only have themselves to blame.
It took both the Cavs and the Pistons seven games to get out of the first round. Our experts on what we learned and what's next.
The Pistons were not holding back when voicing their displeasure with the free-throw disparity, but they also remained honest about their subpar play.
The Cavaliers come back from a nine-point deficit late in regulation to beat the Pistons 117-113 in overtime Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their Eastern Conference semifinal series.
