Key Moment

Andre Drummond was a beast during the first half of Saturday’s matchup between the Celtics and the Pistons in Detroit, tallying 17 points, nine rebounds and two blocked shots all by himself. But it was Boston’s frontcourt that decided the outcome of the game.

The Celtics’ starting frontcourt of Jae Crowder, Amir Johnson and Jared Sullinger took over for a brief stretch of the third quarter to give their team a commanding lead that it would never relinquish. The trio scored 10 of 12 points for Boston during a 12-5 run that led to a 13-point lead and an eventual 99-93 win.
