Pistons with 16 first-half turnovers, somehow outdoing themselves from the 15 against Miami.
Detroit did only have two turnovers in the second half of that one.
Cut that down, and the Pistons leave Charlotte with a comfortable with a comfortable win. – 8:23 PM

One of the major questions facing the Celtics (every team, really, but seems like more with the Celts) is how they’ll react when their shots aren’t falling. We may get an early idea tonight. They trailed by as many as 13 and are down 28-25 after shooting 35.7 percent in 1st Q. – 8:18 PM

After 1: Heat 28, Celtics 25
Boston goes on a 12-2 run to end the quarter after Miami dominated the early going. Rebounding continues to be an issue for Boston, though Oshae Brissett came in and gave good energy off the bench.
Tyler Herro leads all scorers with 12 points. – 8:15 PM

Not a ton of offensive direction for the #celtics so far. Break a cold spell by lining up Jaylen against Dru Smith. Brissett, who has a nice DREB since coming in, keeps Brown’s and-one FT miss alive. Pritchard-Hauser-BRissett-Tatum-Horford down 26-20. – 8:06 PM

This feels like a game where the Heat lean on that Bam Adebayo mid-range jumper a good bit
I’d guess that’s a lot of their early offense – 6:08 PM

Porzingis, Holiday, Tatum OFF, Brown ON – 5 mins. 120 off. rating 130 def. rating. Don’t think you should see much of that look when those four starters are healthy and available, but 2/3 FG by Brown led to better offense than I remember. 10 possessions. 13-12 NYK. – 2:18 PM
