After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons pulled away from the Celtics 116-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
