What happened in the Pistons vs. Celtics game?
Wow.
How about that? They are streaking. This is the hottest team in basketball right now. Their eighth straight win. They pick it up over the Boston Celtics. And it wasn't even close, Zena. They got this thing done pretty early. Joe Mazzullo was waving the white flag. early on, I actually thought he pulled it a little bit early. Like this game, this team can hit a lot of threes in a short amount of time. You think you'd give them a chance, but no, they got out of there. This is the longest winning streak for the Pistons since 2008. They snapped a 12 game losing streak to the Celtics. The Pistons are here, Zena.
They are. And the crazy part is, is that Boston was also here for Detroit. I mean, they shot 43% almost from three. So it wasn't a factor of the Boston not being themselves. It was just a factor of Detroit being better at being themselves. They were slicing up the paint, ended up with 62 points in the paint. They also played tremendous defense. Like, Asar Thompson, we just talked about him this week. We're going to keep talking about him. Why not? Because he continues to be a pest, a thorn in everyone's side. You know, he did go down with an injury. We're not sure what's going on there. But before he went down, him and his team, All night long in passing lanes, forcing everyone to go the way that they want to go.
They were just making everything sped up for the Boston Celtics. Detroit really showed out tonight and also showed out for the national stage. So anyone that was doubting, oh, is this streak a fluke? Is this? Uh-uh. They showed up tonight.
Well, they showed out in a big game, but let's just be honest here. This game should have probably been flexed to national TV, and it wasn't. Instead, it was Sixers-Knicks, which wound up being a good game, and we'll get to that in a minute. But, you know, the Pistons, this isn't a win that I think – I'm glad that you put it this way because they showed who they are The first quarter run that they went on to close the first quarter, it was keyed by Malik Beasley. I mean, he missed a shot that he probably took his time on a little bit too long, gets his own rebound, and sticks it. And this guy is having – what was the stat that you gave me the other day? The shooting stats that you put me up?
In that seven-game – in that seven game win streak before last night's win 51 from three yeah so he's just continuing that going on but yes that step back getting your own shot looking down let me take a step back and do it again is not only hard it is confident yeah okay the whole you got a reset clock you're all good to go no no i know what's going in don't worry i got you and his team also knew
Yeah, everybody's watching. Right. Because you just missed the one. So he had 26, six of 11 from three. And I had this thought and I'm not sure about it yet. Like I'm I'm workshopping this idea, but they are better when Malik Beasley is on the court. I wonder if this is in the situation by the time we get to the playoffs, if he doesn't maybe supplant Tim Hardaway Jr. in the starting lineup now. I understand, again, this team is good. They're on a streak. No one is changing anything anytime soon, and they maybe shouldn't. But that's something I think is like it's one of those adjustments when we get to playoff time because this is a playoff team. It's a really good team that they might be able to make.
But with the shooting like that coming off the bench, I also understand having that option. Cade Cunningham with another good game. And I want to just swing this to the Boston side for a second. 17 turnovers, not really like them. Six in the first quarter as well. Right, and we've seen the season where they've been a little bit out of sorts.
