After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics outlasted the Pistons 99-92. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
