After Action Report
The Pistons upended the Celtics 108-106. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
