We won Yeah. Mr big shot was the MVP as he forced 1st qtr terror Rondo to the bench in the 4th and faked Tony Allen out of his shoes to seal the game with the the winning FT's . Give some props to Lindsey Hunter for turning the momentum to the Pistons favor with his pressure defense near the end of the third qtr.

The Pistons managed to turn on the defense after giving up 29 in the first qtr by holding the Celtics to only 56 the rest of the game. (Funny only one block the whole game though.) After jumping to a 7 point lead in the waning minutes, the Pistons offense stalled in the last 2.5 mins and allowed the Celtics to tie the game before the winning FT's

Without the 3 balls in the first half, who knows if the pistons would have been able to climb back in this one. They hit nine to Ray Allens' 3 (and Eddie 3 ball house's one. ) They were nearly flawless at the FT line 20-23

They held Pierce to 5-16 shooting despite Tay sitting out the 2nd qtr (or was it the whole game??) Tay was a cold 1-10 shooting

The rivalry has begun again and all we did was win round 1. Wonder what the Blue/red map voting is now as it was 49 states to 1 in favor of the C's at halftime.....

The Celtics lead the league in defense giving up 87 points a game and yes they were able to hold the Pistons to 87, but could not score enough to win as the Pistons # 2 defense upheld it's own. Pistons are now 12-2 vs the east (dang those 2 Bulls losses)
