Celtics Get Even
A few games ago, Detroit went into Boston and dealt the Celtics their first home loss of the year. So what else would the Celtics do, but return the favor? The surprise in the game wasn’t that the Celtics won, but who led them to victory. Not one of their big three, but their rookie, the ‘Big Baby’, Glen Davis out of LSU. It was the first time all year that the leading scorer wasn’t either Garnett, Pierce, or Allen.
The Pistons had their 11 game winning streak snapped, while Boston ran their streak to 8. This game was full of streaks and lost leads. Detroit lost leads of 12 and 10 points at various times, and at one point in the first quarter, the Pistons went on a 17-0 streak. For the Celtics, Ray Allen had an off night, finding himself in foul trouble often, and only managed 8 points. Davis finished with 20 points, and 4 rebounds, shooting 80% from the field in only 23 minutes of action.
This certainly won’t be the last time these two teams square off this season, and it’s great to see the rivalry back underway.
