After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Pistons 117-102. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Celtics per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
