Detroit defense focusing on denying pocket passes vs. Cavs
May 7, 2026 9:45 PM
During the Pistons' 111-101 win against the Cavs on Tuesday, the Detroit defense made it a point to deny the Cleveland offense from operating as they did during the regular season. In particular, the Pistons have identified the Cavs' tendency to work the ball into the post through pocket passes, so it makes sense that Detroit worked to take away that schematic facet in Game 1.
With Ausar Thompson and Cade Cunningham paying attention to the Cavs backcourt, how do you expect Cleveland to go about attacking the Detroit defense later tonight?
