After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons rolled past the Celtics 120-98. Pistons' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
