After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Pistons 115-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
