NEW FEATURE: How did the Celtics become what they are today? What really happened? They studied. An endless devotion to being the smarter team, highlighted by a one-of-a-kind film session back in December. An exclusive behind-the-scenes story for BSJ: bostonsportsjournal.com/2026…

The truth behind the success: Inside the Celtics' maniacal film study, starting with a one-of-a-k...

How did this version of the Celtics—one with a new leading man, new supporting acts, and a wholly new bench core—maintain its place as one of the NBA’s powerhouses? The story is simpler than it...

BSJ Game Report: Pistons 121, Celtics 113 - A second-half collapse

At first, it looked like it was going to be a close game. The Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons were neck and neck. Then, the Celtics pulled ahead thanks to Paul George. Then the tide turned.

Quick Celtics thoughts after that one: - Not nearly enough from Tatum - PG looks great - Half-court defense awesome, full-court defense bad - Pritchard needs to play more - Bigs weren't great - Have to be able to find a way around ball pressure

Just an ugly second half for the Celtics. Can't buy a bucket, and the Pistons are dominating when they push the pace.

Pistons are scoring off a lot of Celtics misses. Pistons are not scoring off many Celtics makes. If the Celtics can get good looks on offense, it's going tohelp their defense a LOT.

Paul George has been awesome in this one. Looking like the prime version of himself on both ends.

Tatum's missed a bunch of shots he should be making. He's also gotten beat on the glass a bit too often. But he's been the primary hub for the Celtics' offense. Really hard to beat this ball pressure, and he and Pritchard have been the most successful at it.

Pritchard has been hounded by the Pistons all night, yet just one turnover. Couple buckets and couple trips to the free throw line.

It looks like Mitchell Robinson might have twisted his ankle. He went down on that last play. Hunched over on the court right now. Limping back to the bench.

These two defenses create ugly basketball. Whoever figures out how to beat the defensive pressure first is going to win this one.

Rebounding has been a bit of a problem for the Celtics. Just getting beat by the Pistons.

The Pistons are putting a ton of pressure on Payton Pritchard. They're pressuring everyone, but Pritchard is having to work extra hard tonight.

Celtics are working hard to try to get Tatum easy looks off the ball. Couple sloppy mistakes, but you can see the intent.
