After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Celtics 138-117. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
