The Cleveland Cavaliers went 1-1 last week, looking strong against the Detroit Pistons and floundering for the first half against the Boston Celtics.

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers had many chances to defeat the Detroit Pistons last Friday, even though they were without their two star guards, James Harden (thumb) and Donovan Mitchell (groin).
