Terry Pluto joined Baskin and Phelps to share his takeaways from the Cavaliers' seven game series with the Pistons and what he thinks clicked for the team to allow them such a dominant win in game 7. He explained why he doesn't think the Cavs would have made it this far with Darius Garland and whether or not James Harden will be back in Cleveland next season.
