After Action Report

The Pistons buried the Celtics 130-107. Pistons torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
