The Boston Celtics learned the power of tough shot-making and momentum against Cade Cunningham and the Detroit Pistons.
BOSTON — After a third-quarter Detroit Pistons run had whittled their lead away, the Boston Celtics spent the fourth quarter fighting back. A rough Anfernee Simons layup and a trailing Derrick White three helped them do that. But then, Cade Cunningham happened. “Especially the one coming out of timeout, the one right in front of our bench, I thought that was a tough shot there,” Joe Mazzulla said postgame.
