After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics downed the Pistons 110-95. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
