The Boston Celtics insisted they weren’t worried about winning a road game, knowing their time would come in the playoffs. Perfect timing.
Kevin Garnett scored 22 points to lead Boston to a 94-80 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night and a 2-1 lead in the Eastern Conference finals.
“I think our guys just assumed we would eventually win on the road,” Celtics coach Doc Rivers said simply.
The NBA’s top-seeded team had lost its first six road games—tying a league record—and was 9-0 at home until losing to Detroit in the previous game.
“I think the loss rejuvenated us,” Celtics captain Paul Pierce said. “We really wanted to come out and get this one.”
The Pistons will host Game 4 on Monday night.
