After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Celtics 102-98. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
