After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons blew the doors off the Celtics 107-86. Pistons torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
