After Action Report

The Celtics held off the Pistons 115-109. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
