This is what the Cleveland Cavaliers need to turn around their series against the Pistons

Two tough defeats that create a very unsettling sense of distrust. Cleveland Cavaliers had high expectations of taking advantage of the inexperience of Detroit Pistons to assert their authority from the start of their NBA 2026 playoffs semifinal series, but they have encountered serious structural problems that limit their level.

Total collapse in the offense, lack of hierarchy from their stars, and an inability to impose their authority in the paint. These are the major issues for the Cleveland Cavaliers who miss James Harden greatly. His signing was intended to make a difference in these types of games, but the veteran guard is taking on very little prominence and not even distributing the game as expected.

Donovan Mitchell is not showing the expected consistency of a great star, Allen and Mobley have stopped connecting inside, and the second unit is not making entirely consistent decisions. They need to find a way to halt the offensive flow generated by Cunningham, whose connection with Duren is taking a toll on the Ohio team. The series now heads to Cleveland Cavaliers' home, and any slip-up could be fatal. They need to make changes in their game.
