Boston Celtics outmuscle Detroit Pistons, 99-93

In a Motor City rematch, the Celtics didn't look rusty against the Pistons after a two-day holiday break and are now 9-6 on the road.

With Amir Johnson back and news that Marcus Smart was on the verge of returning (and David Lee out with a sore lower back), this rematch on the road in Detroit was a good barometer of where the team is at. Celtics fans, we're in a good spot. This was a business trip for Boston. Thirty games into the season, we're no longer talking about rotations and playing time.
