#Pistons Frank Jackson blocking Evan Mobley?
Those names are not switched. That’s what happened. – 8:05 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Frank Jackson just met Evan Mobley at the rim and won. Yes, you read that correctly. – 8:05 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Lamar Stevens assisted off the court. Putting some weight on that right leg. But slowly walking to the locker room with trainer Steve Spiro. – 8:01 PM
Kelsey Russo @kelseyyrusso
#Cavs Lamar Stevens is down on the baseline. He was grabbing his lower right leg. Headed to the locker room with the training staff. – 8:01 PM

Getting it done on the defensive end too 😤

Pistons answer a Mobley 3 with transition layups from Cade and Josh. Pistons have the lead, 18-17, with 3:03 on the clock – 7:59 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Cade and Josh with back-to-back layups to give Detroit its first lead of the night. – 7:59 PM

#Pistons Killian Hayes has been really good on defense tonight. He has active hands and has disrupted some play. – 7:58 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Pistons’ offense shows a little life — primarily because they’ve made some good defensive plays. Cade’s 3 and a Josh Jackson layups has Detroit trailing Cleveland 12-11, with 6:03 left in 1Q. – 7:52 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Jerami Grant and Isaiah Stewart each have two fouls less than five minutes into the game. – 7:50 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Isaac Okoro: Rim attacker. Much better. – 7:48 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
That was great defense by Killian Hayes on Okoro there. Smothered him at halfcourt and didn’t leave his side on the pick-and-roll, either. Led to a turnover. – 7:47 PM
Chris Fedor @ChrisFedor
Alrighty. Perhaps Isaac Okoro: Playmaker, isn’t quite the way to go early in this one. – 7:47 PM
Michael Gallagher @MikeSGallagher
Welp, Beef Stew picks up two fouls in 1.5 minutes.
It’s Luka Garza time. – 7:44 PM
Cleveland Cavaliers @cavs
Pretty pull up from @Darius Garland and we’re underway!

Isaiah Stewart just picked up his second foul with 10:38 to play in the 1st. Luka Garza is getting ready to check in. – 7:42 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
That’s 2 fouls on #Pistons Isaiah Stewart, and in comes Luka Garza at 10:38 1Q. – 7:42 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Stewart now has two fouls in under two minutes. Luka Garza sprints to the scorers table. – 7:42 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Isaiah Stewart picks up a foul on CLE’s first possession, and that is #Suboptimal. – 7:41 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Isaiah Stewart gets a foul 16 seconds into the game for defending a lob to Allen. I thought that was a little iffy. – 7:41 PM

#Cavs say Kevin Love has been cleared from COVID-19 protocols to return to the team environment and he may sit on the bench for tonight’s home game against the #Pistons. No date yet for Love’s return to play. – 7:13 PM

The Cavaliers have embraced an underdog mentality, complete with a brand new barking celebration. The Browns aren’t territorial with sharing that underdog celebration. trib.al/lxZRDhK #Cavs – 7:05 PM

Quick #Pistons Cade Cunningham story. He was sitting on the bench in pregame and a mom and her kid, who was wearing a Cade jersey, approached from behind the bench to ask him something.
Arena security freaks out and pushes them back. – 7:03 PM

Casey said Evan Mobley is doing what he thought he’d do. “The young man’s ceiling is off the charts, and not only that, he’s a great young man. He’s a student, he’s a sponge, he’s a quick-learner.” – 6:11 PM

Casey said Luka Garza will get a shot to prove himself against 7-footers tonight. – 6:08 PM

On the Pistons, JB Bickerstaff said Dwane Casey always has his teams ready to compete. “There’s obviously a ton of young, talented players. I think they have invested in some quality veterans as well. You look at what Jerami Grant has done over the last year and a half.” – 5:51 PM
