After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons rolled past the Celtics 119-99. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
