After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Pistons 102-87. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Celtics. Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Celtics locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
