The short-handed Celtics proved significantly better than the short-handed Pistons on Monday, claiming a 110-94 victory.
Here are the takeaways.
1. The most compelling part of Monday’s game was Derrick White angling for his first career triple-double in the fourth quarter, which was a little odd to watch because White has never been much of a stat-padder.
“It was weird,” White said afterward. “I didn’t like it. And I didn’t play too good doing it. So I’ve got to not do that ever again, hopefully.”
White — who finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists — was stuck on nine assists deep into the fourth.
