Turnovers highlight sloppy play as Pistons fall to Cavaliers, 98-78

Cleveland — If the Pistons can hold on to the ball, they would exponentially increase their chances of winning a game.

When they don’t take care of the ball, they have games like Friday’s performance. For much of the third quarter, the Pistons had more turnovers than field goals.

That was enough to spell doom for the Pistons in a sloppy 98-78 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Jerami Grant had 16 points, Josh Jackson 11 and Cade Cunningham nine points and six rebounds for the Pistons (2-9), who finish a back-to-back on Saturday night at Toronto.
