After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Pistons 108-101. Celtics torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
