After Action Report
The Celtics took care of the Pistons 109-97. Celtics' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
