— Powcast Sports (@POWCASTSPORTS) October 21, 2026
The Detroit Pistons pulled off a stunning 121–113 victory over the Boston Celtics, fueled by a spectacular 23–0 scoring run in the fourth quarter.
The incredible surge allowed the Pistons to completely erase a 22-point second-half deficit at Little Caesars Arena. Boston looked firmly in control until Detroit’s defense locked down and their offense caught fire, leaving the defending champions completely scoreless during the decisive final period stretch.
Paul George made franchise history in his Boston Celtics debut, exploding for 38 points, 7 three-pointers, and 5 steals. His historic performance successfully filled the void left by the offseason trade of Jaylen Brown, setting a new Celtics record for the most points scored in a debut game.
George's brilliant night overshadowed a rough outing for co-star Jayson Tatum, who struggled through a 6-of-23 shooting performance to finish with just 13 points, though he managed to impact the game with 11 assists. Meanwhile, the Detroit Pistons countered with a balanced attack led by Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, who paced the team with 22 points apiece. Duren narrowly missed a double-double with 9 rebounds, while Cunningham orchestrated the offense with 8 assists.
