After Action Report

The Pistons survived the Celtics 107-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Celtics 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.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
