After Action Report

The Pistons outlasted the Celtics 120-112. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
