After Action Report

In Boston, the Pistons squeaked past the Celtics 116-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
