After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Pistons 98-89. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
