After Action Report
The Pistons upended the Celtics 104-93. Every possession went the Pistons way. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
