Celtics, 23-13 (1)

The Celtics played a solid first quarter of basketball and have a 23-13 lead after one.

Shooting has been the difference thus far. The Celtics are shooting 59 percent, while Detroit is shooting a dismal 26 percent.

Doc Rivers stuck with his starters until the 1:13 mark. Tony Allen and Glen Davis were the first men off the bench for the Celtics. It’s likely they were both chosen for their physical play, which matches up well with the Pistons.

Ray Allen had 5 points and 4 assists in the quarter.

  • You know it’s a big game when the crowd is up in arms over every foul call, one way or the other. This crowd is nuts. Easily the loudest of the season.
