Looking at the Detroit Pistons’ record, it would probably come as a shock to say they look much improved this season. Of course, that’s a low bar to clear, considering they achieved a 14-68 record last year, but Detroit has shown some flashes in their first two matchups.

With that said, they enter the third game with a 0-2 record on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics continue to look the part of an NBA Champion.

Matters certainly don’t get easier for the Pistons this weekend as they go head-to-head with another Eastern Conference contender.

Detroit faces Boston after paying a visit to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night. After struggling to avoid turnovers throughout the night against the Cavaliers, the Pistons lost after having 11 lead changes in the game.

The team’s starting point guard, Cade Cunningham, finished the matchup with a game-high 33 points. Outside of the nine turnovers he committed, Cunningham was a bright spot for the Pistons. Unfortunately, he couldn’t lead them to victory with his scoring alone.

After a 113-101 loss, the Pistons have to take on a 2-0 Celtics team. In their opener, the Celtics dominated the New York Knicks 132-109. They followed up with another lopsided win against the Washington Wizards, taking them down 122-102.
