After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Celtics 109-93. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
