After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Celtics 106-103. Pistons torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
