CLEVELAND, Ohio- Led by head coach Kenny Atkinson, the Cleveland Cavaliers trounced the Detroit Pistons and their coach, JB Bickerstaff, 115-94, Monday night at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Cavs guard Donovan "Spida" Mitchell was the team's lead scorer, finishing with 35 points.

With four games in thus far, the Cavs have won three straight games and are now 3-1 and sixth in the Eastern Conference. They lost only their first game, against the New York Nicks, earlier this month.
At the onset of the third quarter on Monday against the Pistons, all five Cavs starters —Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, Sam Merrill, and Jaylan Tyson —were in double digits, and by the fourth quarter, the Cavs were up 90-66, a 24-point lead. They led by as much as 35 points during the second half.
By all standards, the game was a blowout.
The Cavaliers are hoping for an NBA playoffs comeback this season, after losing Game 5 of Round 2 of the 2025 Eastern Conference playoffs against the Indiana Pacers, a best-of-seven-games series that put to rest their quest to win the 2025 Conference Finals and, ultimately, the NBA Finals.
