The Boston Celtics have done it again! On Tuesday night, the Celtics defeated the Detroit Pistons 128-122 in overtime, tying the NBA record of 28 consecutive losses for the Pistons. It was an exciting game that went down to the wire, with the Celtics pulling off a dramatic victory in the extra period.
The Celtics were led by Kyrie Irving, who scored a game-high 39 points. He was supported by Al Horford with 22 points and 11 rebounds, and Jayson Tatum with 18 points and 9 rebounds. The Pistons were led by Blake Griffin, who had a double-double with 27 points and 10 rebounds.
The game was close throughout, with neither team able to pull away. The Pistons had a chance to win in regulation, but Griffin’s shot at the buzzer rimmed out. In overtime, the Celtics took control and never looked back. They outscored the Pistons 15-7 in the extra period to seal the victory.
The win was a big one for the Celtics, as it tied the NBA record for consecutive losses for the Pistons. It was also a big moment for Irving, who has been playing some of the best basketball of his career this season.
The Celtics will look to continue their winning ways as they face off against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. The Pistons, meanwhile, will look to break their losing streak when they take on the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. It should be an exciting game for both teams, and it will be interesting to see if the Pistons can finally break their streak.
