The fact that they held the Pistons to 81 points, in Detroit, says it all.
The Celtics were fantastic last night. Even though they fell behind, 70-60, you sort of knew it wasn’t over over yet. Well, the Celtics outscored the Pistons 29-11 the rest of the way.
Who were tonight’s heros?:
Paul Pierce: In the second half he was the go-to guy. He … continued »
