After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Celtics 96-92. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
