The Pistons rolled past the Celtics 126-106. Pistons' offense had its way with the Celtics. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
