As expected, the Celtics haven’t been able to get any breathing room here in the third quarter.
The Pistons raised their shooting from 35 percent to 41 percent as they closed the gap to two.
Rajon Rondo got a standing ovation for his dunk over Jason Maxiell at the 5:07 mark. Rondo threw it down with one hand before hitting the floor incredibly hard. Remember he’s a point guard.
Antonio McDyess caused quite a bit of spilled beer when he jumped into the crowd near the Pistons bench around the 6:00 mark.
Two police officers escorted out three rowdy fans in section 324 midway through the quarter. The incident was likely also beer-related.
Scott Pollard, who, as reported by Marc Spears, is out for the season, left the bench with 1:38 left in the quarter.
