Pistons power past Celtics

Posted November 18, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Greg Monroe,  Jason Maxiell,  Jared Sullinger,  Kevin Garnett
TEAMS: Detroit Pistons,  Boston Celtics
Greg Monroe had 20 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Detroit Pistons to their first home win of the season, 103-83 over the Boston Celtics on Sunday night. The Pistons (2-9) had blown double-digit leads in each of their first three home games, but were never seriously threatened by Boston down the stretch. The Celtics, playing their fourth game in five nights, hit only four 3-pointers and trailed by as many as 22 points. Jason Maxiell added 15 points for the Pistons, who had six players in double figures and shot 54.5 percent for the night. Jared Sullinger led the Celtics with 16 points, while Kevin Garnett had 15.

Does Rondo's streak have a home court advantage?

Via Celtics Life  |  November 17, 2012
33 games and counting... Rajon Rondo had no trouble extending his string of consecutive double digit assist games to 33 this afternoon.  In fact, he even dropped his tenth dime before halftime.  I am a huge fan of the streak, and I have a sneaking suspicion that the home team's official scorekeeper is as well. While at the Garden over the past couple weeks I've noticed...

Once again, it took Rondo until the final minute of the game to get his 10th assist, but thanks to Jared Sullinger, Rondo's streak of games with 10 or more assists continues. He is now just 3 games away from John Stockton's record. Doc kept Rondo in the game in the final minutes, even though it was a blow out, to get his 9th and 10 assists. It wasn't that he wasn&...

There have been single-digit scoring games, like when he failed to make a basket in a win over Utah. There have been games in which he has been underused, such as the win in Washington when he clocked...
