The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the Detroit Pistons 125–94 on May 17 at Little Caesars Arena, delivering a decisive performance that exceeded the Vegas total of 204.5 points. Donovan Mitchell led the Cavaliers with 26 points, while Jarrett Allen contributed 23 points as Cleveland's offense operated at peak efficiency, shooting 50.6 percent from the field and connecting on 11 three-pointers. The Cavaliers' offensive rating of 123.3 contrasted sharply with Detroit's 92.4, a decisive differential that reflected their control throughout. Cleveland's third quarter proved pivotal—the team outscored Detroit 35–26 in that frame—and the Cavaliers' balanced attack generated 31 assists on 50 total rebounds, forcing just 11 turnovers. Detroit's D. Jenkins (17 points) and Cody Cunningham (13 points) could not generate sufficient offensive rhythm, as the Pistons shot only 35.3 percent and committed 14 turnovers while allowing 10 steals. This victory underscores Cleveland's postseason momentum and defensive intensity heading into the next matchup.
