After Action Report
In Boston, the Celtics held off the Pistons 106-100. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
