Pistons stomp Celtics to post longest winning streak in a decade and a half

In their previous two seasons, the Detroit Pistons won 31 games combined. On Wednesday, they won their 33rd game of the season. And how.

The Pistons notched their eighth win in a row with a dominant second-half performance against the also-streaking Boston Celtics, finishing with a 117-97 victory. The win streak is the Pistons' longest since the 2007-08 season.

The Celtics, who were without Jaylen Brown due to a thigh contusion, were on a six-game streak.

Detroit looked well on its way to a blowout win in the first half, holding a 15-point lead at one point in the second quarter.
