After Action Report
The Celtics survived the Pistons 103-100. Every possession went the Celtics way. Second-chance points piled up for the Celtics; Celtics' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
