After Action Report
The Celtics fended off the Pistons 96-90 in overtime. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Celtics. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
