After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Pistons 115-104. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Celtics. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
