Thursday Day Game for Celtics, Pistons
The Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons will play the second game of their Eastern Conference semifinal series on Thursday afternoon in order to avoid back-to-back games, team officials said Monday.
Game 2 is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. EDT at Boston Garden.
The first game in the series is set for tonight. The Garden was available Wednesday night, but Celtic officials said they want to avoid back-to-back games. The Garden is booked Thursday night for Game 5 of the Boston Bruin-Pittsburgh Penguin NHL playoff series and Friday night for a figure skating show.
The Pistons will play host to Game 3 on Saturday afternoon and Game 4 on Monday night.
