The Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics treated fans to playoff-level basketball last night in a game that might be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals, as they are clearly the two best teams in the East as of right now.
The Pistons held on for the win, padding their lead to 5.5 games over the Celtics, which is a bigger gap than exists between #2 seed Boston and the #8 seed Heat.
The Pistons have been the best team in the East for most of the season, and given their increasing lead, logic dictates that they don’t need to make a big move at the trade deadline.
