After Action Report
The Pistons knocked off the Celtics 119-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. An upset for the books.
