After Action Report
In Detroit, the Celtics ran roughshod over the Pistons 111-90. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
