The Detroit Pistons (6-8) dropped their first home game of the season as they lost to the Boston Celtics (7-6) 94-92 on a last-second put back by Al Horford.

Al Horford made his return to the court count. After sitting out the previous nine Boston Celtics games with a concussion, Horford sealed a 94-92 victory over the Detroit Pistons with a game-winning put back layup and a block on the ensuing possession.

It was a tough way for the Pistons to drop their first home game of the season, as they had just tied up the game on a Tobias Harris triple on the possession before Horford’s follow. Detroit has now lost three in row, as well as six of their last eight games. Let’s get to the grades.
