After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Celtics 112-104. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
