After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Celtics 112-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Tonight's Celtics utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
