After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Pistons 120-114. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Celtics lately; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
