After Action Report
In Detroit, the Celtics rolled past the Pistons 122-99. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
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.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
