After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Celtics 109-101. Pistons' offense had its way with the Celtics. The Celtics bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
