The Boston Celtics overcame a 21-point deficit and raised their home record to 15–0 by beating the Detroit Pistons 128–122 in overtime Thursday night.

The Pistons also made dubious NBA history, losing for the 28th straight time, the longest in-season losing streak in league history. If they fall on Saturday vs. the visiting Toronto Raptors, they would tie the longest skid of all time, including from one season to the next.
