After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Celtics 122-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
