After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Pistons 96-82. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
