After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Celtics 109-103. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
