Celtics @ Pistons / Oct 20 / 2026-27 Season

The Celtics opened up the 2026-27 NBA season with an ugly collapse in Detroit, falling to the Pistons, 121-113. Everything was clicking, and Paul George was on fire, but then everything went wrong, and Boston completely collapsed, including a 23-0 run allowed in the 4th quarter, as this game slipped away. Chud breaks it all down, offers some silver linings, and gives perspective on the long season ahead.
