The Celtics defeated the Pistons in a nail biter on Saturday night (11/19/16) to get their seventh win of the season. This was the first time this season that Detroit lost at home and it was also the first game where the Celtics were playing at full health all season. Al Horford and Jae Crowder came up big in their returns, putting up stellar lines in the game. Al Horford also impressed in crunch time. The Celtics were able to score with 1.3 seconds left in the game when Isaiah drove to the hoop and missed the shot, but Marcus Smart got a hustle rebound (as usual) and the ball ended up in Al Horford's hand which led to the score. With 1.3 left, the Pistons passed the ball in to Aron Baynes, who attempted a turnaround jump shot that was blocked by Al Horford to secure the win.
Leading Scorers: Isaiah Thomas (24), Al Horford (18), Avery Bradley (13)
Leading Rebounders: Al Horford (11), Marcus Smart (7), Jonas Jerebko (6)
Leading Passers: Isaiah Thomas (8), Al Horford (5), Bradley/Smart (3)
☘ Player of the Game: Al Horford (18 PTS, 11 REB, 5 AST, 3 BLK, 2 STL) ☘
