After Action Report

The Pistons pulled away from the Celtics 131-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
