After Action Report
In Boston, the Pistons snuck past the Celtics 102-99. Pistons' starting five clicked while the Celtics looked disjointed. The Celtics couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
