The Boston Celtics look like they haven’t skipped a beat since winning the NBA Championship. Winning their opening two games and having an average winning margin of 21.5, it’s safe to say that Boston is rolling early.
On the other side, the Pistons have struggled losing both games to start the year falling to the Pacers on Wednesday (115-109) and losing last night to the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-101. This is the Pistons’ second game of a back-to-back.
Last season, the two teams squared off three times with Boston sweeping Detroit 3-0.
Since the last time these two teams played, Detroit made several offseason acquisitions to improve its team.
