A 119-116 loss to the Pistons is the end result to an inconsistent effort tonight by the Boston Celtics. The defense that this young squad hangs it’s hat on struggled once again and fans are asking how much longer until Marcus Smart comes back..
We all know how important it is for teams to get a good start on the road, and Boston got just that tonight. Behind the scoring of Thomas and Johnson, and 4 rebounds from Sully, the Celts were up 25-18 after the first. Boston was sloppy at times however, with 6 early turnovers that Detroit turned into 5 points.
