The Celtics ' offense struggled on Sunday , but Isaiah Thomas did not . The team hit just 40 percent of its shots from the field and saw only one player score more than 14 points . That player was All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas , who led the team with 33 points including five three - pointers . The Celtics , the league 's worst rebounding team , did an excellent job on the boards , though . The team out - rebounded Detroit 52 - 45 , and forward Jae Crowder led the way with 11 . As a team , the Celtics hit 12 three - pointers . The real story of the night was Detroit 's free - throw shooting . Despite getting to the line 35 times , the Pistons capitalized on only 16 of those shots for a percentage of just under 46 percent . Andre Drummond , who holds the dubious honor of worst free - throw shooter in league history , went just 1 - of - 11 from the line to add to Detroit 's mess at the charity stripe . The visiting Boston Celtics took down the Detroit Pistons on Sunday , 104 - 98 . Boston ( 38 - 21 ) was up by double digits for much of the game 's middle portion but saw their lead dwindle towards the game 's end . The Celtics were actually down by a point with 45 seconds remaining , when a deep three - point miss with time on the shot clock from Detroit 's Reggie Jackson allowed Boston to take possession and the lead . On the other end , rookie Jaylen Brown hit a game - clinching three - pointer while being fouled . Brown finished the night with 13 points on 5 - of - 9 shooting . All-Star point guard Isaiah Thomas was , per usual , the team 's leading scorer . Thomas scored 33 points and hit five three - pointers , helping to extend his streak of games with at least 20 points to 43 . As a team , the Celtics now are on the second - longest streak of games with at least 10 made three - pointers of all time , as the Cs have met the mark in 17 straight contests . It was a disappointing night for Detroit ( 28 - 31 ) , as the Pistons entered the game having won five of their last seven contests . It was also the jersey retirement celebration for legendary Pistons guard Richard `` Rip `` Hamilton . The Pistons were unable to treat Hamilton to a win , however , despite a valiant comeback effort . Perhaps the biggest hang - up for Detroit was free - throw shooting , as the team went a miserable 16 - of - 35 from the free - throw line . A big piece of that was center Andre Drummond , who went just 1 - of - 11 at the stripe . Drummond is the worst career free - throw shooter in the league 's history at just over 38 percent during his time in the association . Boston will host the Atlanta Hawks on Monday , while Detroit will host the Trail Blazers on Tuesday .
