The Celtics ran roughshod over the Pistons 117-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Celtics cashed in. The Celtics carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
