Some background from Keys to the Game:
The Pistons come to town riding a nine-game skid, their last win coming against the Bulls back on October 28. Like the Cavaliers, Detroit is looking for its first In Season Tournament victory and snap the league’s longest losing skein in the process.
The Cavaliers swept all four games from the Pistons last season, have won five straight and 10 of the last 13. Cleveland welcomes the World Champs on Sunday night before heading to Philly for a nationally-televised IST matchup on Tuesday.
The Cavaliers come into Friday night’s In-Season Tournament matchup looking to win consecutive games for the first time this season – returning from a four-game trip in which they went 2-2.
