Result:
LOSS

The Cleveland Cavaliers have blown through their home schedule and destroyed everyone, to the tune of a double-digit winning margin. They have been successful on the road, but against the teams in this year's playoff field, the Cavs haven't been nearly as good. They have a 12-10 record on the road against these teams, with one of the losses coming in Detroit. They have also been outscored by these teams in the 22 games, so the indestructible force at home, has been quite vulnerable on the road in this type of setup. While the Pistons as a whole aren't what we have seen in the past several years, they are more than capable of winning here. The Pistons took down Orlando three times, Denver twice, and the Lakers, Cleveland, Portland, and Boston. So before you pencil Cleveland into the next round, there is solid evidence that the Pistons still have enough to at the very least be competitive here, if not win. I'll go with Detroit.
