After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Celtics 127-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
