After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Pistons 123-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
