After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons pulled away from the Celtics 124-107. Pistons' offense had its way with the Celtics. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
