After Action Report
In Boston, the Pistons edged the Celtics 116-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
