After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Pistons 106-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
