After Action Report
The Pistons downed the Celtics 121-104. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
