After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons outlasted the Celtics 114-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
