Like a lot of teams, Boston was no match for the Golden State Warriors last night at the Garden. If there is one bright spot, after being down by 29 after three periods, the Celtics took away a good chunk of that lead. And with four minutes to go were close enough to make it somewhat of a game, but fell well short. They head to Detroit at 6-6 on the season to take on a Pistons team that opened strong at 4-2 with high expectations, but have had a meltdown in their last seven games to drop below .500, winning just two of their last seven. And a few of the losses were not even contested. This team has struggled offensively shooting 36% or less in three of the five losses. Boston has held four of their last five opponents to 44% or less shooting, so the Detroit shooting issues may not be resolved here. Make the play on Boston.
