After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons blew the doors off the Celtics 122-84. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
