Boston really struggled with Al Horford and Jae Crowder sidelined , but they returned here in spectacular fashion . Horford was especially good , as he tallied 18 points , 11 rebounds , five assists , two steals and three blocks in 33 minutes . More importantly , he hit the game - winner with one second left and sealed the win with a game - saving block at the buzzer . Despite going just 7 - of - 22 from the field , Isaiah Thomas led Boston in scoring , by dropping 24 points . After all five Detroit starters failed to reach double figures in scoring during a blowout loss to Cleveland on Friday , they had four of them combine for 75 points here . Andre Drummond was a beast down low , as he totaled 20 points and 17 rebounds in the defeat . The Pistons ' bench struggled once again , as they combined for just 13 points between four players . On the contrary , the Celtics ' six bench players combined for 28 points . No team led by double - digits at any point in this game . The Boston Celtics defeated the host Detroit Pistons , 94 - 92 , at Palace of Auburn Hills on Saturday . Al Horford had missed the previous nine games due to some concussion issues , but he made an epic return here . In a tied ball game , Horford snatched down an offensive rebound with 1 seconds left and tipped in a game - winner to get Boston a much - needed win . In the next possession , he blocked a jump shot at the buzzer to seal the victory . While most statistics were even , the free - throw shooting was not . In fact , the Celtics went 16 - of - 17 from the charity stripe , while the Pistons went just 11 - of - 16 . Both teams struggled from the field , with Boston shooting 40 percent and Detroit shooting 43 percent on their end . There were 19 lead changes and nine ties in a hard - fought battle . Boston ( 7 - 6 ) was missing the defensive presences of Jae Crowder and Al Horford , but both players made their returns here from a nine - game absence . Horford was the star , as he tallied 18 points , 11 rebounds , five assists and three blocks , in addition to his game - winner . Isaiah Thomas led the team in scoring , totaling 24 points , four rebounds and eight assists on 7 - of - 22 shooting . Avery Bradley was the only other Boston player in double figures , accumulating 13 points , four rebounds and three assists . The Celtics next game will be on Monday against the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road . Detroit ( 6 - 8 ) was undefeated at home coming into this game , but they could n't quite hold off a revived Celtics squad . Marcus Morris led the team , dropping 24 points on 10 - of - 16 shooting .
