After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Pistons 141-93. The Celtics got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
