The NBA Cup group play continued with several games on the slate coming down to the wire on Wednesday.
The Boston Celtics hosted the opening game of the day, providing the home crowd with a hard-fought victory that put an end to the Detroit Pistons’ win streak.
The Pistons fell short of their 14th consecutive victory, which would’ve set a new franchise record.
The Pistons move to 2-1 in Gold Cup play while the Celtics improve to 2-2.
The Houston Rockets improve to 2-2 in group play after a road victory over Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
While the Warriors fall to 1-3 in the tournament, the health of Curry for the remainder of the season might be of bigger concern.
Here’s where things stand in the NBA Gold Cup ahead of Friday’s game.
