Detroit — For the second time in their last three games, the Pistons played a close one with the Boston Celtics. Right before the All-Star break, they went into Boston and earned a tough win in the final minute. This time, the Pistons couldn’t hold on down the stretch. The Celtics used a 15-2 run
It could have been incidental contact, but the officials deemed it something else. What looked to be an innocent play made the Pistons shorthanded for the second half of Saturday’s 113-104 loss to the Boston Celtics. Hamidou Diallo was ejected in the second quarter after making contact with an official. Diallo was saving a ball
Momentum appeared to be on the Detroit Pistons‘ side Saturday afternoon. After a strong third quarter allowed them to build a four-point lead over the Boston Celtics, Cade Cunningham made a midrange shot and Killian Hayes stole the ball from Jaylen Brown and finished a transition dunk to keep the Pistons in control. But the

A game at noon? What a perfect way to really get your Saturday going. The Detroit Pistons will look for their second straight win over the Boston Celtics and to have the first three-game winning streak of the season. The Pistons will look to their bench to provide the energy, defense and rebounding that have
Cade Cunningham’s offensive bag is deep. He can post up smaller defenders and move bigger defenders out of the way with a bump from his shoulder. He is comfortable with his pull-up jumper and stepback 3-pointers and can operate from midrange. We’ve seen him take over games, and he’s already proven he can be a go-to player in clutch
A noon game on a Saturday in February is weird. Matinee games happen, but they are typically reserved for days like MLK Day or Sundays. The Pistons entered the All Star Break on a high note after beating the Boston Celtics and have exited the break with a win over the Cavaliers on Thursday. Granted,

Diallo hit three 3-pointers in the final three minutes, scoring nine of the Pistons’ final 13 points of the period. It’s not so surprising that he’d have a chunk of points in a short time
As the season’s unofficial second half gets underway, the Detroit Pistons are going to struggle to thread the needle in addressing two priorities. They must allow their current core players to continue to play together and build chemistry, and they also must use these last two dozen games to dust off some little-used pieces and
A few minutes before the halftime buzzer, Cade Cunningham and Marvin Bagley III pulled off one of the best fastbreaks of the season for the Detroit Pistons. Cunningham lost Cleveland Cavaliers guard Rajon Rondo with a behind-the-back dribble and lobbed the ball to Bagley, who completed the play with a left-handed dunk. The play stood
