After Action Report
In Boston, the Pistons snuck past the Celtics 104-102. Every possession went the Pistons way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
