After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Celtics 123-102. Pistons' offense had its way with the Celtics. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
