After Action Report
The Celtics rolled past the Pistons 94-69. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Celtics' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
