The Cleveland Cavaliers may have been blown out at the hands of the Pistons in Detroit, but they did manage to secure a playoff spot in the process, the Associated Press is reporting.

Detroit took the game 85-71, leaving LeBron James concerned about the team's injury situation with only nine games left in the season.

"It's been really frustrating," James said. "Our team is based on consistency and trying to get momentum, and it's hard to do that when you have guys coming in and coming out."

"We know it's part of the game, but it's happening to us at the wrong part of the season."
