DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – There was  a Boston “trey” party for the Celtics as they made 21 three-pointers routing Detroit, 127-109. Jason Tatum once again burned the Pistons for 38 points in their second meeting in nine days as he had 30+ points on Feb. 6.

Bojan Bogdanovic continued his scoring spree with 28 points making 12-of-17 from the floor. Jaden Ivey added 17 points and James Wiseman made his debut after the trade with 11 points and five rebounds. Detroit did shoot 51 percent from the floor but made just 11-of-29 three-pointers as Boston was 21-of-45 (46 percent) beyond the arc.

It was a close first quarter as Detroit stayed with Boston the entire time. Tied at four on an Ivey shot, that was the last time that Detroit was close to a lead. Boston had a one-point lead, 11-10, at 7:28 on an Ivey floating jumper. Boston followed with a 9-2 run for a six-point lead, 19-13, but the lead was down to three, twice. Bogdanovic cut the lead to one, 19-18, with 4:14 remaining on a three-foot floating jumper but by 1:30 Boston moved the lead to 11, 31-20, on a 12-2 run. Detroit scored the final six points of the period to come within five, 31-26.

Boston outscored Detroit, 35-25, in the second quarter for a 15-point lead at the half, 66-51. Detroit had a strong third quarter scoring 38 points. Alec Burks made it a five-point game at 3:13 on two free throws, 85-80, as that is as close as Detroit came the rest of the game. Boston’s lead was back to eight points, 97-89, but the end of the quarter. Boston then outscored Detroit, 30-20, in the fourth quarter. Detroit was within six, again, 97-91, on a Wiseman driving layup at 10:46 but the lead went back to 15-points, 112-97, with 7:14 to go. Boston kept their distance after that for the 18-point win.

Detroit will host Orlando on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. on Bally Sports Detroit.
