After Action Report
The Celtics buried the Pistons 120-99. Celtics torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
