After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics blew the doors off the Pistons 137-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
