BOSTON (CBS) â?? With the Celtics in need of a big shot in the final moments of Sunday night’s tilt against the Pistons, they got it from an unlikely source.
It’s usually Isaiah Thomas who knocks down the big buckets in the fourth quarter, but he found a pair of Pistons draped all over him at the top of the key as he looked to drive into the paint and erase Boston’s one-point deficit with less than a minute on the clock. Thomas dished it off to Al Horford, who took two steps before sending a pass to rookie Jaylen Brown, who was uncovered in the corner.
