After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pistons 114-94. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
