After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Pistons 99-88. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
