After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Pistons 91-80. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
