After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons handled the Celtics 110-97. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
