The Detroit Pistons stomped into Saturday night’s game against the Boston Celtics as one of the few undefeated teams sprinkled throughout the league. Unfortunately for Pistons’ fans, the night did not end that way. The Pistons could not crack the riddle of Boston’s offense all night and eventually fell to the Celtics 109-89.
No one assumed the Pistons would come in like a wrecking ball against the Celtics. Boston came into the season with huge expectations, falling just short of the Warriors’ depth, offensive firepower and sneakily elite defense.
But, after averaging 116.0 points per over four games, the Pistons could not topple that 90-point mark.
