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.

94.275 - 113.498 Zena Keita

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.

114.639 - 135.514 Zena Keita

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.

135.554 - 149.131 Zena Keita

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.

149.171 - 167.264 Dave DuFour

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
