After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pistons 118-95. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
