In the last 3:23, he scored six points, grabbed three rebounds and had a steal to help Detroit pull away.

Cleveland Cavaliers reserve guard Sam Merrill had an MRI on his left hamstring after injuring it in a Game 1 loss to the Detroit Pistons. The Cavs held him out of practice Wednesday, a day before they will shoot to even the second-round series in Detroit. Merrill had one assist and one turnover in six-plus minutes of the opener on Tuesday night.
