Detroit (1-0) at Boston (1-0), 7:30 pm EST
BOSTON (Ticker) -- Richard Hamilton looks to pick up where he
left off when the Detroit Pistons visit the Boston Celtics on
Friday.
Hamilton flourished in his first game under new coach Flip
Saunders, as the Pistons won, 108-88, against Philadelphia in
their home opener on Wednesday.
The sharp-shooting Hamilton made 16-of-24 shots, scoring 37
points and six rebounds thanks to the motion offense that
allowed him to run defenders ragged through picks and screens
all night.
Boston's Ricky Davis had similar success in his season debut,
scoring 27 points as the Celtics posted a 114-100 overtime
victory over the New York Knicks on Wednesday. Davis netted
nine in the extra session.
Four-time All-Star Paul Pierce had 30 points and 12 rebounds in
the season-opening triumph in which all five Celtics starters
scored in double digits.
Detroit took three of four from Boston last season, splitting
their two meetings in Boston.
