In Detroit, the Pistons knocked off the Celtics 116-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. An upset for the books.
