Celtics Clinch Eighth Title With 140-120 Win Over Pistons
The Boston Celtics secured their eighth straight division title with a 140-120 victory over Detroit in Providence. Coach Red Auerbach praised the win as the second biggest moment of his career, noting the team’s ability to win without Bob Cousy and without their top draft pick. The win also earned $12,000 for the division crown and $2,000 for best win-loss percentage, plus home court advantage.
