The Detroit Pistons have won five of their last six matchups, most recently defeating the Atlanta Hawks 142-115 at home last Friday. It was the team’s largest win of the season, and the bench scored a season-high 77 points in the win. 12 players scored at least 7 points, making the Pistons the third team in NBA history to accomplish that feat.

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown nearly recorded a triple-double against the Detroit Pistons, but he still wasn't happy with his performance.

Thanks to Brown's big half, the Celtics took a 57-53 lead into halftime, but they fell behind late and couldn't catch the Pistons.

Cade Cunningham scored 32 points and hit a season-high six 3-pointers to lead the Pistons, who improved to 21-5. The Celtics, who handed Detroit one of its five losses on Nov. 26, dropped their second straight game to fall to 15-11.

The Celtics had a chance to record their second win of the season against the Eastern Conference-leading Pistons. But they made too many mistakes.
