After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons took care of the Celtics 119-102. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
