Summary

We get a first look at the Cavs and what they have to offer versus the rival Detroit team. They lose game one, and had a lot of chances to try and change the result. However, their 3 point shooting, free throw shooting, and some of the bench members stepped up. Can they keep it up, or will they be down 0-2 after tonight.
