After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons survived the Celtics 105-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
