After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Celtics 112-111. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
