FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Friday night’s 110-98 loss to the Boston Celtics at Little Caesars Arena
1-COSTLY LOSS – Every loss exacts a pound of flesh now. The Pistons have precious little margin for error and can’t afford to lose many games – if any – at home or against teams with losing records or competing with them for a playoff berth. Friday’s loss counted in one of those categories, at least, as the Pistons lost one of their last 10 home games. Awful starts to the second and fourth quarters were a big part of their undoing in this one.
