After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics rolled past the Pistons 140-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Celtics' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
