After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Celtics 93-88. The Celtics couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
