After Action Report
The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pistons 124-103. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
