After Action Report
The Celtics blew the doors off the Pistons 121-90. Celtics torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
