On October 27th, 2025, the Detroit Pistons staged a remarkable comeback to defeat the Boston Celtics 119-113 in a thrilling NBA matchup. The Celtics had jumped out to a 14-2 lead in the opening minutes and led by as much as 17 points, but the Pistons rallied with a dominant second and third quarter performance.
Cade Cunningham led the Pistons' charge, scoring 25 points, while Jalen Duren added 24 points and 17 rebounds. Ausar Thompson also contributed 21 points for Detroit, which scored 30 second-chance points, including four by Thompson in the closing minutes.
Despite Jaylen Brown's 41-point outburst for the Celtics, the team struggled to contain the Pistons' offensive onslaught. Boston was unable to replicate the defensive intensity that had limited the Pistons to under 42 points in a quarter in their previous two losses.
The Celtics made a late push, pulling within four points with 1:13 remaining, but Tobias Harris scored off an offensive rebound to help seal the win for Detroit. The Pistons have now won two straight games after a season-opening loss, while the Celtics have lost their first three games as they adjust to life without the injured Jayson Tatum and departed contributors Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford.
