After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Pistons 114-109. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Celtics steamroller is in full effect right now. The Celtics bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
