After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Celtics 128-100. Pistons torched the Celtics on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
