After Action Report
In Detroit, the Celtics squeaked past the Pistons 97-96. The Celtics won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
