After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics handled the Pistons 139-128. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
