After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Pistons 123-102. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
