Jaylen Brown’s bold take ages like milk as Detroit Pistons destroy Celtics by 20 points
The Detroit Pistons were once the laughingstock of the NBA, as one of the worst teams in the league. On Wednesday, the Pistons completed their 8th win in a row, with their latest victory over reigning NBA champs Boston Celtics.
Despite Wednesday's loss to the Pistons, Boston has been red hot lately. Better rebounding and big frontcourt minutes have helped the cause.
Just to make matters worse, the Celtics allowed 62 paint points for the Pistons and they got outscored by 21 in transition (29-8), as pointed out by Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. The interior defense being shaky certainly reflects back on Porzingis' efforts, so it's not too hard to see why he's being that hard on himself after the loss.
In their previous two seasons, the Detroit Pistons win 31 games combined. On Wednesday, they won their 33rd game of the season.
Al Horford and Jrue Holiday, who also sat out against the Raptors, combined for 13 points on 5-for-20 shooting. Jayson Tatum led the Celtics with 27 points (10-for-19, 4-for-9 from three), and Derrick White and Payton Pritchard each scored 18 points and hit five threes.
