The Pistons led 75-72 going into the final quarter but a flurry of 3-pointers by the Celtics fuelled a 17-6 run that put them ahead to stay, resulting in a 105-100 home victory for the Boston team. Gordon came off the bench for 27 minutes of play, accruing eight points, three assists, two steals and a rebound.

After their fourth straight loss last night, The Pistons will be keen to put in a winning performance this evening when they take on New York at Madison Square Garden, so far they are 1-2 against the Knicks this season. They are then set to play away at Cleveland on Friday followed by a home clash verses Houston on Sunday.
