After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Celtics 122-97. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons sent shots into the fifth row all night; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
