After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics downed the Pistons 105-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
