After Action Report
The Celtics squeaked past the Pistons 117-113. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
