Those Cavaliers resembled the Detroit Pistons , back when the Pistons were a great team.

But this is a different kind of Pistons team, one that did not provide much of a challenge for Cleveland as the Cavs won 99-78 on Sunday to complete a four-game first-round sweep.

"It's been a unique season, a difficult season," Pistons coach Michael Curry said.

"Rough season, my man, rough season," was all Rasheed Wallace said as the free-agent-to-be left the Pistons' locker room for what might have been the last time.

One player who should not have to worry about being around next season is Will Bynum, who closed his first season in Detroit with a career playoff-high 22 points.

"I just tried to stay positive all year," said Bynum, who signed a two-year deal with Detroit last summer. "Even when I wasn't playing, mentally, I was preparing like I was playing."

While much will be made of this being the end of the Pistons' run atop the Eastern Conference, it also signals the potential beginning of Cleveland's reign.

LeBron James finished with 36 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists Sunday.

"LeBron is LeBron," Cavs coach Mike Brown said. "He does more than just score for us. He is so effective in a lot of different areas, and I thought he brought it tonight."

James was not alone.

Mo Williams and Delonte West combined for 36 points on 14-for-24 shooting.

Meanwhile, Detroit struggled to find production.

Richard Hamilton, who has led the team in scoring the past seven seasons, had just six points on 2-for-12 shooting. Tayshaun Prince had just two points on 1-for-5 shooting.

Wallace was held scoreless and missed all seven of his shots.
