BOS vs DET ScoutingBOS vs DET Scouting
Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

Takeaways Pistons: Made 20 3-pointers — a season high — on 39 attempts, including three from Beasley and one from Marcus Sasser to get back in the game in the fourth.
Celtics: Even with Jayson Tatum and Jrue Holiday sidelined with injuries, the Celtics were too much for the Pistons.
Key moment With 3:46 left, Porzingis was fouled driving to the basket. His momentum took him into the seats, where he slapped hands with a few fans before raising his arms to the crowd and getting a big cheer. He hit both free throws to give Boston a 121-107 lead.
