After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pistons 129-107. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
