After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Pistons 117-85. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
