After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons stunned the Celtics 125-103. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
