After Action Report
The Pistons stunned the Celtics 142-114. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.
