Garland led the Cavaliers with 22+7 to defeat the Pistons, and Mitchell's efficiency helped the big win

On January 28 , the NBA regular season ushered in a focus battle. The Cleveland Cavaliers easily defeated the Detroit Pistons 110-91 at home. This victory not only continued the Cavaliers' strong performance at home, but also demonstrated the excellent state of the team 's core. Darius Garland scored a team-high 22 points, and contributed 5 rebounds and 7 assists; Donovan Mitchell followed closely with 21 points and 6 assists. Another core player, Jarrett Allen, contributed 15 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, becoming a barrier in the interior.

At the beginning of the game, both teams quickly entered the state. Cunningham of the Pistons showed his leadership style and scored 6 points in a row to help the team keep the score close. The Cavaliers controlled the situation with the cooperation of Garland and Allen, and continued to score through the combination of inside and outside. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers had a slight advantage of 26-23, laying the foundation for the subsequent games.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency fluctuated briefly, and the Pistons seized the opportunity to tie the score. However, Mitchell stood up at this time, and his accurate shooting and organization helped the Cavaliers regain the initiative. Under his leadership, the Cavaliers launched a strong offensive and widened the score difference to double digits. Although Beasley and Duren of the Pistons tried hard to catch up, the Cavaliers still controlled the rhythm on the court and entered the second half with a 55-45 lead.

After the start of the second half, the Cavaliers continued the hot state at the end of the first half, and quickly played an 18-4 attack wave, expanding the score difference to more than 20 points. Garland played particularly well in this quarter. He not only completed the breakthrough and scored, but also hit a key three-pointer from the outside, showing an all-around performance. Although the Pistons, led by Cunningham and Duren, struggled to catch up, the Cavaliers led 82-67 into the final quarter with a solid offensive and defensive performance.

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Pistons once narrowed the gap to 13 points and tried to launch a counterattack. However, the Cavaliers quickly adjusted their state, and Garland and Mitchell hit key shots in succession, and once again played a 22-point offensive climax. As time passed, the Pistons were unable to further narrow the gap, and the Cavaliers finally locked the victory with 110-91 and won this big victory.

The Cavaliers fully demonstrated their offensive and defensive balance in this game, especially in the critical moments, they were able to widen the gap through teamwork. Whether it was Garland's all-around performance or Allen and Mobley's steady output in the interior, they laid the foundation for the team's victory. This victory allowed the Cavaliers to further consolidate their ranking in the Eastern Conference and inject more confidence into the upcoming schedule.

On the other hand, the Pistons, although they have shown good fighting spirit under the leadership of young core Cunningham, the gap in overall strength is still obvious, especially the poor performance of the bench lineup, which cannot provide sufficient support to the main players. As the season progresses, the Pistons need to further optimize their tactics and lineup to strive for better results in the second half.

In the next game, the Cavaliers will continue to face the Eastern Conference powerhouse 76ers at home, hoping that they can continue their winning streak; while the Pistons will go on the road to challenge the strong opponent Knicks, trying to adjust their state from the defeat and find a breakthrough for subsequent games.
