Celtics Force Pace and Turnovers to Beat Pistons

The Celtics controlled the 2nd half of Game 1 and comfortably defeated the Pistons 88-79. The Celtics' ball movement and pace were to their liking, and that energy carried over to the defensive end as well where the Celtics forced 15 turnovers and 10 steals. While the Celtics shot an impressive 52% from the field compared to 42% by the Pistons, it seems that they missed a bunch of bunnie shots, such that the Pistons should be thankful they they didn't get blown out this first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.
