After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics buried the Pistons 124-97. The breakneck pace played right into Celtics' hands. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
