New York, November 28: The Detroit Pistons flexed their muscles with a 118-108 road win against the Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics on Monday (November 27).

Two games ago, the Pistons were getting embarrassed at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, looking like a team ready to fade into mediocrity. But Andre Drummond and Tobias Harris squelched those murmurs with career performances against the Celtics.

Drummond scored 26 points with 22 rebounds, six assists and four steals, while shooting 10 of 12 from the field.

Harris scored a game-high 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting – five of six from three-point range – with eight rebounds. All five Pistons finished the game with positive numbers on the plus/minus scale.

HEAT AT CAVS

James and Dwyane Wade get to play their old team. Wade, especially, having started his career with Miami, should be ready to compete. Both teams have been hot lately, as the Heat have won three straight games, two of which were against the Celtics and Timberwolves.
