- Duncan Robinson hit four threes and got to the free-throw line eight times. Kukiel said this was because defenders trailing him over DHOs fouled him on three-point attempts. at 31:33
- The Celtics put Neemias Queta and Mitchell Robinson on Ausar Thompson for long stretches. In the fourth quarter, Detroit attacked that coverage by using him as the DHO screener on almost every play. Because the bigs sagged instead of coming up to the level, Duncan Robinson got clean looks or drew fouls. at 32:05

- In the fourth quarter the Pistons repeatedly attacked Boston's choice to put a big man on Ausar Thompson. Nearly every possession came from a Thompson screen or a Thompson hand-off (DHO) with Duncan Robinson. at 8:16
- Duncan Robinson scored 15 points in the fourth quarter, much of it off hand-offs with Ausar Thompson. He also drew eight free throws on fouls by trailing defenders. at 8:32
- Host analysis: Boston's big would not step up to take away Robinson's threes. That left Robinson open threes or let him draw fouls on trailing defenders. The host says the Pistons should run this every time a team puts a big on Ausar Thompson. at 9:08
- Host analysis: the offense ran the same way in both halves and only the results changed. First half: Robinson went 1 of 4, Isaiah Joe 1 of 3 and Kevin Huerter 1 of 4, with the team at 4 of 18 from three despite open looks. at 16:46
- Second half: Robinson went 4 of 5. Javonte Green went 5 of 8 and took many of the open threes Huerter got in the first half. at 19:25
- Collins was repeatedly late on off-ball rotations and had miscommunications with Duncan Robinson. at 30:06
