Jayson Tatum and the Celtics seem to be in a great mood: 5 takeaways from Celtics vs. Pistons

Here are the takeaways as the Celtics beat the Pistons 102-93 on Friday, their fourth win in a row for the first time this year.

1. Former Celtics assistant coach Jerome Allen — now an assistant with the Pistons — used to talk trash to Tatum at practice “every day” so Tatum said he expected a little in his first matchup against Allen on Friday.

Allen, however, might regret an admittedly pretty funny line. Coming out of the halftime break, Allen told Tatum he “might as well put on a coach’s polo” after scoring just five first-half points.
