Cavaliers vs. Pistons, NBA playoffs 2016: Time, TV schedule and live stream

The Cavaliers took care of business at home, winning the two initial games of the series. Now it's the Pistons' turn to react and do that same or this matchup could end much more quickly than anticipated.

After a close Game 1, it seemed Detroit, which had won the season series against Cleveland, was just the type of team that could give the Cavaliers trouble. On Game 2, however, we caught a glimpse of what this LeBron James-led squad can do when they are clicking. The Cavaliers connected on 20 three-pointers and routed the Pistons, showing the true difference between the first and the eighth seed in the East.

Things got chippy in the second half, with LeBron James bumping Stanley Johnson, something the rookie didn't appreciate. There was also some trash-talking involved between James, Johnson and Marcus Morris. The Pistons players called out LeBron in the media so it will be interesting to see if the game is more physical than usual early on Saturday.

Detroit will not only be motivated by the perceived slight by James but also by their survival instinct. A third loss in a row would bring them to the edge of elimination. They will need to figure out a way to shut down the Cavaliers' perimeter attack without giving James and Kyrie Irving an open path to the basket. On offense, they will need their bench to do a better job than it has done so far in order to keep up with a Cleveland team that is scoring at a very high rate.
