Celtics guard flips the switch vs. hot Pistons
Derrick White warmed up faster than a Thanksgiving oven after scoring just two points in the first half, finishing with 27 to lead Boston past Detroit 117–114. Coach Joe Mazzulla called it trust; fans just called it magic at TD Garden.
The Pistons’ 13‑game run melted away under White’s six second‑half threes — proving that sometimes being cold first only means you’re saving energy for dessert.
