After Action Report

The Celtics pulled away from the Pistons 120-104. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
