After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Pistons 129-121. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
