After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pistons 105-104. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
