After Action Report
In a track meet, the Celtics survived the Pistons 109-107. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
