The two-28 Detroit Pistons led the Boston Celtics by 21 factors Thursday evening. Then they remembered they’re the Pistons.
After the Pistons raced to a 66-47 halftime lead, the Celtics’ protection tightened up within the second half. Detroit gave up the whole lot of their halftime lead within the third quarter, although they pressured additional time and even led with 2:32 remaining.
Cade Cunningham adopted up his 41-point effort Tuesday with 32 factors Thursday, but it surely wasn’t sufficient to maintain the Pistons from dropping their twenty eighth straight sport. The loss dropped them to 2-29 on the season.
In the end, the Pistons couldn’t overcome Kristaps Porzingis, who had 35 within the win.
Or Jayson Tatum’s passing, as he racked up 10 assists. However they actually couldn’t overcome their inherent “Piston-ness.” This younger group clearly has expertise. However in some way it retains discovering new methods to lose video games.
