After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons survived the Celtics 120-117. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
