After Action Report

The Celtics survived the Pistons 105-104. Every possession went the Celtics way. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
