After Action Report
The Celtics held off the Pistons 114-108. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
