After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pistons 124-97. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. It was over by halftime.
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.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
