After Action Report
The Celtics demolished the Pistons 119-97. Celtics' scorers couldn't be contained. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Celtics stayed locked in. 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.

- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
