The Boston Celtics didn’t go into the All-Star break with a double-digit winning streak after coming up short, at home, to the lowly Detroit Pistons, 112-111.
Boston, winners of nine in a row prior to the loss to Detroit, had an eight-point lead (106-98) against the Pistons following a Jayson Tatum dunk, a lead that seemed the beginning of a Celtics run to close out the game and with it, set them up with an ideal 10-game winning streak heading into the break.
