After Action Report
The Celtics handled the Pistons 108-98. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
