After Action Report

The Pistons squeaked past the Celtics 118-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
