After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Pistons 108-92. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
