It was an absurd game on a balmy Wednesday night in which nothing much made sense, least of all the defense (on both sides) and the officiating.
How absurd was it? The Celtics and Pistons both have great defenses. Cs are #3 in the league, Ps are #6. So of course, it had to be a major defensive battle, right? Nope. BOTH teams' Defensive Ratings came in WORSE THAN THE WORST DEFENSE IN THE NBA. Lol. Nuts.
And the officiating made it even nuttier. Nuttiest, if you will.
