The Boston Celtics look to continue in their winning ways after defeating the Detroit Pistons 117-114 at TD Garden on Wednesday (Nov. 26) evening as they gear up to make the trip to Minneapolis’ Target Center to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday afternoon in the first game of a back-to-back road trip.
They may need to play even more banged up than they were in the win vs. the Pistons when they played without starting center Neemias Queta, with at least one more important name having made its way onto the injury report as ‘questionable’ for the T-Wolves contest.
Records, standing, and streaks
At present, the Celtics have a 9-8 record and coming into tonight’s contest after their last game ending in a win. That is good enough for eighth in the Eastern Conference standings.
The Wolves own a 10-8 record as well, which currently has them in the Western Conference seventh-place slot.
What happened in the last game for each team?
