YESTERDAY'S RESULTS

NBA

The Boston Celtics nipped the Detroit Pistons in a down-to-the-wire thriller, 115-114, on Larry Bird's reverse fade-away jumper with only two seconds remaining in last night's game at the Garden.

The young, tenacious Pistons demonstrated poise, leading the world champion Celts by as many as eight points with only four minutes to go. At that time the thunder of the Garden's spectators inspired the Celtics to put together their game-winning rally.
