After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Pistons 123-86. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
