After Action Report
In Detroit, the Celtics outlasted the Pistons 92-83. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
