After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Celtics 104-82. Pistons' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
