After Action Report

The Pistons blew the doors off the Celtics 116-96. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
