After Action Report
The Celtics outlasted the Pistons 105-88. Every possession went the Celtics way. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
