After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pistons 106-105. Celtics torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
