After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pistons 121-90. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
