After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Pistons 115-92. Every possession went the Celtics way. The Celtics carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
