The Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics meet tonight for the third and final time this season. The season series is on the line, home court throughout the playoffs is potentially on the line, not to mention whatever mental edge the players will obviously downplay.
"Business as usual," was the phrase used by Celtics guard Ray Allen before the game.
Detroit handed Boston its first home loss of the season on Dec. 19, 87-85, and the Celtics returned the favor on Jan. 5, 92-85, in Detroit.
Newly signed Celtics guard Sam Cassell will not play tonight, but Boston did activate forward P.J. Brown. Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said he was not sure if he would play Brown tonight. Boston center Scot Pollard was placed on the inactive list.
