Hot-shooting Pistons dismantle Cavaliers in Game 1
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) --
When LeBron James had the ball, he saw Detroit Pistons defenders to his left, to his right, and straight ahead.
The Pistons also had James seeing triple at the other end of the court.
Detroit made 10 3-pointers in the first half -- one shy of an NBA playoff record -- to open up a 21-point lead at halftime before cruising to a 113-86 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday in Game 1 of their second-round series.
The Pistons finished with a franchise playoff-record 15 3-pointers, on 22 attempts, and missed only one of their 11 attempts beyond the arc before halftime.
"They're going to sweep the rest of the playoffs if they shoot like that and win the NBA championship," James said. "We shot 50 percent and had only six turnovers in the first half and were down 22. It's hard to explain that."
