After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Celtics 114-113. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
