After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Celtics 123-90. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
