The Detroit Pistons defeated the Boston Celtics, 121 - 114, at TD Center on Wednesday. The Pistons (10 - 10) checked in to Wednesday's contest having experienced their share of shooting struggles this season, although they'd shown signs of improvement in having won three of the prior four games. They heated up significantly from the field against the Celtics (10 - 8), managing a 55 percent success rate from the floor and 45 percent mark from three - point range. Four members of the first unit scored at least 20 points, led by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who tallied a team - high 25, a total he supplemented with five rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block. Tobias Harris was next in line for the visitors, posting 21 points, six rebounds and four assists, his third straight 20 - plus - point performance. Andre Drummond and Marcus Morris turned in respective 20 - point efforts, with the former bouncing back for a Tuesday ejection for an errant elbow by also hauling in 17 rebounds, dishing out two assists, recording a pair of steals and posting a block, and the latter adding four rebounds, three assists, three blocks and a steal. Ish Smith fell just short of the 20 - point milestone but filled out the stat sheet in fine fashion, registering 19 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and a block. Jon Leuer turned in a typically solid stat line off the bench, with 12 points, seven boards and two assists. The Celtics saw Isaiah Thomas pace them with 27 points, which he complemented with four assists but no other statistics. Jae Crowder and Avery Bradley were next with a pair of 14 - point contributions. Crowder also had five rebounds, four assists and two steals and Bradley posted six boards and a steal. Amir Johnson had one of his more productive games with 11 points, five rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block, but Al Horford underwhelmed with nine points, five rebounds, four assists and a pair of stuffs. Kelly Olynyk was stellar off the bench with a 19 - point contribution that led the second unit, while Marcus Smart also compiled 12 points in a reserve role. The Pistons continue on the road and head south to Atlanta, where they'll face off with the Hawks on Friday night, while the Celtics remain home and await the Sacramento Kings for a showdown on Friday evening as well.
