Boston Celtics

Still the Pistons

Celtics coach Doc Rivers has been saying it all year: Until somebody beats them, there are the Pistons and the Spurs, and then there’s everybody else. So even when his team was up 10 with two minutes remaining in tonight’s game, the coach was worried.

“They’ve been through so many games,” said Rivers. “They’ve come back so many times and we’ve all seen it. You can’t let your guard down.

“They’re just a smart basketball team. So that’s what we have to deal with.”
