The Detroit Pistons ( 26 - 44 ) defeated the Boston Celtics ( 30 - 39 ) 105 - 97 in overtime on Sunday in Boston . A short shot by Reggie Jackson tied the game at 88 with just under a minute remaining and neither team was able to score after that . The Pistons then opened up the period on a 70 run and the Celtics were unable to recover after that , as Detroit went onto win 17 - 9 in overtime . The Pistons were led by another huge double - double from Andre Drummond , who posted 18 points on 8 - of - 17 shooting , 22 rebounds and four blocks in 40 minutes . It was the 21 - year - old 's first double - double in three games , but his sixth in the month of March . Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also had a huge game , scoring 27 points on 10 - of - 20 shooting and grabbing eight rebounds in 44 minutes . Also in the backcourt , Jackson recorded his fourth straight double - double and nearly his second triple - double in three games , posting 17 points on 5 - of - 13 shooting , 11 assists and nine rebounds in 37 minutes . Greg Monroe sat out for the fourth straight game with a knee injury , and Anthony Tolliver took his place in the starting lineup , scoring zero points in 25 minutes . The wins gives the Pistons their second in a row , but the team still remains far on the outside looking into the Eastern Conference playoff race , sitting 5 games behind the Celtics for the eighth and final playoff spot . All five Celtics starters scored in double figures , but that just was not enough . They were lead by Evan Turner , who posted 23 points on 10 - of - 21 shooting , eight assists , six rebounds and three steals . Jae Crowder was next up , scoring 19 points on 7 - of - 16 shooting and seven rebounds in 45 minutes . Marcus Smart served his one - game suspension and Avery Bradley took over the starting point guard duties as a result , but he had just 10 points on 3 - of - 10 shooting , four assists and four rebounds in 38 minutes . Brandon Bass ( 13 ) and Tyler Zeller ( 10 ) round out the starters in double figures while Jonas Jerebko scored 10 points in 21 minutes off the bench . The loss was a costly one for the Celtics , as the loss brings them into a tie for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference with the Pacers and Hornets . While they do hold the tiebreaker , Boston is now playing down the final stretch of the season where every game is crucial . Up next , the Pistons will head home Tuesday to take on the Raptors , while Boston will travel to Brooklyn and play the Nets on Monday .
