After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pistons 121-87. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
