After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons survived the Celtics 111-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
