Last night, the Celtics faced the Pistons, and the game was far more entertaining than you might have expected. After a dominant start, the Celtics watched their lead evaporate and found themselves trailing in the final minutes. Here are my 10 takeaways from the third game of the season:
1. Derrick White vs. Cade Cunningham at the rim
D-White might be the best guard at rim protection since Dwyane Wade. Time and time again, he’s proven he can perfectly time his jump to meet and block opponents at the rim. Last night, he faced Cade Cunningham multiple times.
