Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics Final Score & Over/Under Result — Nov 26, 2025

A balanced second half masked a narrow escape for Boston, as the Celtics outlasted Detroit 117–114 in a game that finished well short of expectations. Both teams combined for 116 points after the break, nearly matching their first-half output of 115, but it was the fourth quarter—when 62 combined points flowed across both benches—that ultimately decided the outcome. Detroit surged late with 31 fourth-quarter points, nearly pulling off an upset, while Boston's 31 matching points proved just enough to hold on.

Cade Cunningham was the evening's leading scorer with 42 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, carrying the Pistons' offensive load. Jaylen Brown answered for Boston with 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists, while Derrick White added a crucial 27 points alongside 7 rebounds. Jalen Duren grabbed 16 rebounds for Detroit, anchoring the glass. The first two quarters, which combined for 115 points, set a slower pace early—Q1 produced just 54 combined points—before Q2 erupted for 61.

DAGGER leaned under on a 234.5 market total, and the 231 final cashed the call by 3.5 points. Detroit's recent form—averaging 122.3 points per game over its last 10 contests—suggested a higher-scoring affair, but Boston's stifling defense (109.8 allowed per game in that same stretch) prevailed just enough to keep the lid on a game that mirrored their 232-point total from an earlier October meeting.
