After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Celtics 114-105. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
