Cavaliers chase home court after Pistons win
The Cleveland Cavaliers clinched a playoff berth with a 113-99 win over Detroit at the Coliseum, while New Orleans fell to Boston. Cleveland trails the Knicks by two games with four left, and homecourt could come via a Knicks tie or ahead in the standings. Coach Bill Fitch notes Lashed by injuries, the team has shuffled Jim Chones to power forward and installed Elmore Smith at center as it eyes a final run. The Cavs host the Buffalo Braves next.
