The Detroit Pistons escaped the Boston Celtics by the skin of their teeth, 104-103, at Little Caesars Arena on Monday. The Pistons improved to 31-10, including 18-4 at home. The Pistons were ahead, 104-99, with only 1:37 left in the fourth quarter. The Celtics, however, close the gap after Jaylen Brown made back-to-back buckets. Detroit came up empty in the ensuing possession, as Tobias Harris and Cade Cunningham muffed their shots. It gave the Celtics a last chance to get the win. Harris, however, played tough defense on Brown, forcing him to a tough fadeaway that was too strong.

Harris finished with a team-high 25 points on 11-of-20 shooting. He picked up the cudgels from Cunningham, who struggled from the field, going 4-of-17 for 16 points. Jalen Duren had 18 points and nine rebounds. Brown, meanwhile, had a team-high 32 points on top of 11 rebounds. Before the game, Brown and Cunningham were officially named as starters in next month’s All-Star Game in San Francisco. The 29-year-old Brown is playing at an MVP level, but the 33-year-old Harris did not back down from the challenge of defending him in Boston’s final possession. It was a battle between the top two teams in the Eastern Conference, and with the way their face-offs have gone down this season, including Cunningham getting mocked by fans in Boston, there could be a renewed rivalry. The Pistons won the season series against the Celtics, 3-1. The lone victory of Boston, however, was a huge one, as it ended the franchise-record 13-game winning streak of Detroit.

The ESPN cameraman knew what he was doing when he panned to Abella Danger during the national championship. The famous adult film actress is a huge Miami Hurricanes fan and has been to many games this season. Via Yahoo Sports “I came to every single home game this season,” Danger said. “Every single one. I went to two out of three playoff games, and now I’m here.” Then the emotion hit all at once. “I feel so honored as a senior at the University of Miami to witness my team go to the national championship in Miami. I’m so nervous. I feel like I’m going to throw up.” On Monday, Danger made her way to the national championship game in Miami and was featured during ESPN’s broadcast.

After going on an absolute tear in 2025 and through the first few weeks of 2026, Philadelphia 76ers fans have been banging the table – and hitting the ballot box – to get Tyrese Maxey to the All-Star game. Always a quality scorer going back to his time at Kentucky, Maxey has stepped his offensive game up in a major way for the 76ers in Year 6, averaging the most points per game of a guard since Allen Iverson while demanding respect from opposing defenses and coaches alike. Fortunately for Maxey, his hard work paid off, as he was not only named an All-Star starter but he also earned the most votes of any American-born player. But how did “Mad” Maxey find out about this great honor? Well, as it turns out, it came with a little help from his rookie backcourtmate VJ Egdecombe, who informed the slasher while he was catching some Zs. “Well, 2 p.m. is like the time that I sleep. So I was asleep. Then VJ called me multiple times so I could hear my ringer going off. I’m like, why is he calling me? And I answer, and he’s screaming and showing me the TV, and I’m like, ‘Okay.’ And we, you know, we chopped it up for a little bit, and I was thankful for that,” Maxey explained. “And then my mom called me, and then I said, listen, I’m going back to sleep. I have work tonight. But I’m thankful, man. I’m just thankful for my support system and everybody who is around me, and I’m very thankful for that.” Fortunately for the 76ers, Maxey didn’t rest on his laurels after such a major accomplishment, scoring 29 points, eight assists, and a career-high eight steals in the team’s Monday night win over the Indiana Pacers. And the best part? He and Edgecombe shared a nice moment after the game, too, showcasing that while they may not always agree on everything, they are a backcourt Philadelphia can count on for years to come. Tyrese Maxey on how he found out that he was named as an All-Star starter: "Well, 2pm is the time that I sleep. So I was asleep." "VJ called me multiple times…we chopped it up for a little bit.

Indiana fans travel well. During the Peadch Bowl against Oregon, QB Fernando Mendoza spoke about Indiana fans taking over Mercedez-Benz Stadium and helping his team by being so loud. “Not having to go on silent count because of Hoosier Nation being here and making them go on silent count is a huge aspect of the game and offensive operation that’s not talked about enough, “Shout out to Hoosier Nation because going on silent count, especially against the Ducks, is always tough and making the other team go on silent count might have counted for some points.” Despite the National Championship game being played in Miami, reporters on the scene said there were far more Indiana fans than Miami fans in attendance. Btw, the stadium here in Miami is about 75% Indiana fans. Indiana has the biggest alumni base in the country. pic.twitter.com/FMAJrGOZ7J — Amanda Christovich (@achristovichh) January 20, 2026 Clearly more Indiana fans here at Hard Rock Stadium. Feels like 60-40 or even maybe 70-30 in favor of the Hoosiers. Miami fans been waiting more than two decades. Indiana fans been waiting their entire lives. pic.twitter.com/DrTd79nReW — Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) January 20, 2026 It’s an IU home game in Miami.
