After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Celtics 105-90. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
