After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Celtics 101-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
