After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Pistons 107-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
