After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Celtics 105-93. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Celtics' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
